What all is this stuff on my screen?

• We're looking at the same timeframe (views are automatically synchronized in time between the views) in three ways--Events (lower left), Frame View (upper right) and Signals (lower right). In addition, we wanted to see the overall statistics of the capture file we're looking at.
• You can open multiple Frame, Events, and Signals views if you wish. With this capability you can check on different frames or packets in a capture file.
• If you want to see portions of different capture files, you need to use the Capture File Viewer program (a part of each VCS model).
• This screenshot is on a 17 in. monitor. We're out shopping for larger ones.
• What are we NOT seeing in this image?
  • Protocol Navigtor--it's new, it's powerful, and you will love it!
  • Control window--it's peeking out from behind the Statistics View at top left.
  • Extremely powerful Display Filters: "Quick Filtering" available from several interfaces, and "BPF Filters with a GUI around them"--very, very powerful. Must see to believe. We don't assume you know BPF language.
  • Graphs (several are available -- see the little multi-colored indicators on the label of some portions of the Statistics View.
  • Breakout Box -- it's like Signals View but useful in real-time, whereas Signals View is most useful for capture viewing; it is synchronized in time with Events, Frame, and Protocol Navigator
  • Additional Frame Views. See above--there is a tool marked "2" on the toolbars.
  • Additional Event Views. Same as for Frame Views.
  • Breakout Box -- this really only works in real-time; use the Signals View for looking at capture files.
  • Transmit Views. When working in a Source mode (the PC running VCS is emulating either a DTE or a DCE), it is nice to have the Transmit File or Transmit Keyboard view open alongside the Events View.
  • A lot of very powerful dialogs.
