Timestamp Options
Select Options > Timestamp Format... from the menu bar to change the format for the timestamp
in columns that display a time value. You can select various displays of the date or select an option
that displays no date. You can select the granularity of time (milliseconds, microseconds,
nanoseconds). An option is also available to convert UTC time values to local time if the trace is
from the Xgig chassis. The default option in the Timestamp Format window is
mm/dd
hh:mm:ss.ms_us_ns
.
There are also three different ways to reference timestamps in the display. Set this option be
right-clicking on a timestamp column or field:
• Display Calendar Time
Sets the timestamp to display as a calendar time based on the system clock at the time of
capture.
•
Display Time Relative to Capture
Sets the timestamp to display as a time relative to the start time of the capture (first event
equals time zero).
