Context Menu Options for Columns
The primary display for trace data is a column and row spreadsheet. Rows contain events
discovered in the trace. Columns provide the interpretation of the data.
A variety of controls are provided in menus when you click the right mouse button over a column
value or column heading. The right mouse button is context sensitive in Xgig TraceView. You will
see a list of options that make sense for the column value or column header you have selected.
The following table describes the menu items that may appear when you right mouse click a
column header.

Description
Display Interpretation Displays the interpretation of the data for each field in the column. For
example, the interpretation for a TCP
SPort
field value 3260 is
iSCSI
. If no
interpretation is found, the raw data is displayed in the default field format (for
example, ASCII, IP dotted notation, decimal etc.). This option is the default for
all columns.
Display
Value&Interpretation Same as Display Interpretation, except that the raw data is always displayed
when a field has an interpretation. For example, a column would display
3260
iSCSI for a TCP SPort field value of 3260.
Display Shorter
Interpretation Same as Display Interpretation, except that a shorter interpretation is
displayed if one is available. Among others, when a field value is displayed in
hexadecimal as the default format, then this option strips the leading zeros for
the field. For example, the Fibre Channel Header field S_Id is a 24 bit
hexadecimal field; when a hexadecimal S_Id field value of
000012 is
displayed for the Display Interpretation option, the shorter value 12 is
displayed with this option.
Display Hexadecimal Displays the raw value of the data for each field in hexadecimal format. For
example, if you select
Display Hexadecimal
for the
Summary
column, it
will display the raw bytes of each event (a maximum of 32 bytes is displayed).
For Fibre Channel frames, the
Summary
column displays the raw bytes of
the payload, skipping the Fibre Channel header.
Display Uninterpreted Displays the port designation only, chassis number, blade number, port
number within the blade, for example, 1,1,5.
Display Decimal Displays the raw value of the data for each field in decimal format. For
example, if you select
Display Decimal
for the
CRC
column, it will display
the 32- bit CRC values in decimal format.
Display Default Format Displays the raw value of the data in the default format for each field. For
example, if you select
Display Default Format
for a TCP
SPort
field
interpreted as iSCSI, it will show the raw value 3260 in the default decimal
format for the
SPort
field.
Show Frame Word Offset When this context menu option is selected, a three-digit decimal word offset is
shown at the beginning of each Dword view or LaneView line belonging to a
frame.
