3.3.3  Set Protocol Trace 

This icon –

— will also access the Set Protocol Trace dialog box  (Figure 12). 

The “Trace Setting” section of the dialog box (labeled “Set Verbose Level”) controls the 
display of messages created by the protocol analyzer feature of the SpyLite. The decoded 
air-interface messages show up as colored text in the Trace window. 
When the check box associated with a protocol layer is checked, messages for that 
protocol layer are displayed. 
The “Trace Level Setting” section of the dialog box controls the display of trace 
messages that exist throughout the software. In the Trace window, the default settings 
are: nine point black Courier New text on a white background. 
The trace messages are assigned a level corresponding to the amount of information to 
display. Select a level of information for each of the available items. 
The Trace Level Setting options, from least to most verbose, are: 

• 

Error—displays only error messages. 

• 

Warning—displays warnings and error messages. 

• 

API—displays API-related information, warnings, and error messages. 

• 

Event—displays Event and API-related information, warnings, and error 
messages. 

• 

Debug—displays all messages (this is the default option). 

If a check box associated with an item is un-checked, no information for that item is 
displayed in the Trace window. 
The protocol and level settings can be set individually for maximum control. 
Click Select All to check all boxes in the Set Protocol Trace Flag and Trace Level Setting 
sections and set the Trace Level Settings to the Debug option. (This is the default 
condition. 
Click ClearAll to uncheck all selection boxes in the Set Protocol Trace Flag and Trace 
Level Setting sections.
