Xgig Analyzer User’s Guide 321
When you select the right-click option Synchronize Grids, both the event grid and Dword or
LaneView tab of the
Details pane navigate to the timestamp corresponding to selected event when
an exchange or wire event is selected. If the selected event is filtered out, both panes navigate to
the event with the nearest timestamp.
If you want to navigate to a timestamp from within
Exchanges View
, you can right-click the icon
next to the event.
Quick Find/Filter/Hide
Use the Quick Find feature to find the next or previous wire event that contains similar data values
to the one you are viewing. Double-click an exchange, or select
Quick Find/Filter/Hide
from the
context menu to open the Quick Find/Filter/Hide dialog. Searching and filtering are supported
only for exchanges not for wire events. See “Navigating a Trace” on page 234 for instructions on
using the QuickFind/Filter/Hide dialog.
Detailed Find/Filter/Hide
Use this feature to search the wire events in an exchange using a template from the template
library tree as a criterion.
Columns
Exchanges View supports multiple columns to decode and display various details for each
exchange or wire event. Some of the columns in
Exchanges View are common with those in the
event grid; others are unique to
Exchanges View
. Some of the columns provide information only
for the exchange and others for both the exchange and the wire event. You can add or delete
columns for exchanges or wire events just as you can in the event grid by right-clicking a column
and selecting
Insert Column or Delete Column . The following are the default columns for
Exchanges View
.
Bookmark
This column displays bookmarks corresponding to the exchange or wire event. Whenever
bookmarks are modified, those changes are reflected in this column. Similarly, you can edit the
bookmarks in place in this column and the changes are reflected in other grids and Bookmark
Event drop-down menu.
Side A/Side B
This column displays the command and status for each exchange or PDU. Exchanges have both
the command and status on the same line while PDUs have text only on Side A or Side B.
Timestamp
This column shows the same information that is displayed in the event grid for wire event in an
exchange. If not all wire events in an exchange are displayed, this column may be blank.
Timestamp format is the same in the event grid,
DWORD
tab, and
Exchanges View
. Selecting any
of the timestamp format changes the format in all the panes.
