The upper left view contains a table that displays the captured packet, one packet per each row. The columns will display some packet attributes, and are configurable. The default columns are the packet type, the packet time, and the packet length. The user can edit the columns by using the View/Columns command from the menu bar, or by choosing the Columns button in the toolbar. In the example from the previous pictures, we added the IP\Source field. Please observe that for the non-IP packets, the corresponding cell is empty.
To sort the rows according to a specific column, the user should click on the column header. The first click will sort the rows in ascending order, the second one will sort them in descending order.
The right view displays the packets that are selected in the upper-left view. (The user may select multiple packets.) The right view is organized as a tree control, with the packet lebels at the first level, the packet's entry types at the second level, and the fields at the third level. When a packet is selected, the lower left view will display the packet data in hexadecimal and character from. If a field is selected in the right view, the lower left view will highlight the corresponding bytes in the packet row data.
The user may choose the way in which the IP host addresses are displayed. There are options to display not only the numeric IP address, but also the host name. These options are available through the View/Options command.
The user can save the trace at any time. This is done by using the File/Save and File/Save As Text commands. The first one will save the trace using a format recognizable by Net Analyzer. The second command will save the trace as a text: it will save the all packets of the treace in the form specified by the column configuration of the upper left view. Each packet will be saved on one line, with the fields corresponding to the columns separated by a character chosen by the user. This facility, together with the easy column configuration, allows other programs (like Excel) to process easily all the traces, if this becomes necessary.
