Figure 181: Export to Text File
Grid Options
You can select events from either the main Event Grid or Dword view.
Text Options
Select a delimiter of Tab (\t) , Semicolon (;) or Comma (,) as the character to separate column data
within the exported text.
Select Write column names as first line to place the column names as the first text line in the
exported file.
If you have the Summary column displayed and this column's display option set to Display Raw
Data
, the
Save complete payload
option includes the entire payload/frame information for each
event. For Fibre Channel frames, the raw payload data is saved, skipping the Fibre Channel
header. For Gigabit Ethernet, the entire frame is saved. If the
Save complete payload
option is
not selected, only the first 32 bytes of the data are exported.
The exported file contains the data interpretation as displayed in the
Summary
column. For
example, if Display Short Interpretation is selected, short summary information is exported to
the file. If
Display Raw Data
is selected, raw data is exported. If the
Summary
column is not
included in the column display, payload/frame data from the Summary field is not included in the
exported file.
Set the Beginning and End Points for Export
Set the limits of the trace data to export in the
Start Timestamp:
and
End Timestamp:
fields. The
timestamp values to use as the beginning and end points of the export operation are available from
each pull-down menu. Two defaults are provided,
Start of Trace
and
End of Trace
.
You can set the limits of the trace data to export by clicking on events in the spreadsheet. Click an
event and its timestamp is entered in the
Start Timestamp:
field. Click the
End Timestamp:
field
and then on another event in the trace. Its timestamp is entered in the End Timestamp: field.
