Decode Switches in the Template Editor
The
Template Editor
dialog box appears when you double-click any editable template. Some
templates have an option in the upper left corner for specifying Decode Switches. The decode
switches provide detailed contextual options for decode; for example, further decode of response
and data frames. The Decode Switches menu is context sensitive and will only show the decode
options available for the specific template you are creating. For example, for Fibre Channel
templates, iSCSI options do not display.
The
Decode Switches
menu within the Template Editor is used to help you create a user-defined
template. Any Decode Switches used within the Template Editor only apply to the single template
you are creating; they do not affect global settings for Decode Switches.
When editing a User
Library template, Decode Switches are stored inside the template so they are still ON the
next time you open this particular template in the Template Editor.
There are many Template-Editor-specific Decode Switches. These decode switches allow you to
further decode Response and Data frames that can't be decoded without knowing what is the
associated command frame. Below is a description of some of these switches:
•
SCSI Data Interpretation
Shows up on SCSI Data frames for SAS, SATA and Fibre Channel. It contains a list of all
fixed format SCSI data frames, depending on the settings of the SCSI Interpretations switch.
•
FC-ELS Accept Interpretation
Shows up on FC-ELS (Fibre Channel Extended Link Services) Accept frames. It contains a
list of the possible Link Services Accept frame formats.
•
FC-4 Link Accept Interpretation
Shows up on FC-4 Link Services Accept frames. It contains a list of the possible FC-4 Link
Services Accept frame formats.
Important:
Decode Switches within the Template Editor are not used for searching and
filtering, but are only used to assist you in defining a bit pattern. Please refer to the section
“Proper Use of Template Editor Decode Switches” on page 377
for a complete description of
how to use these switches.
