Action Buttons - Their Functions
The Action buttons in the right side of the window provide the means of
setting triggers, filters, and restarts. To set an action, you simply drag your
mouse from an Event to an Action. As described further on, this movement
will link the two via an arrow.
Trigger
The Trigger button enables event triggering.
Filter In/Out
The Filter In/Out button allows events to be filtered in or out of the
recording. Filtering provides a useful method of excluding data from the
trace so you can conserve recording memory.
Restart
The Restart button causes the two counters Count1 and Count2 to be reset
to zero. It also causes the search for event sequences to restart. Event
sequences are sequences of events that trigger the end of the recording.
Restart buttons provide you with a way of saying "If you see a sequence of
A, B, C, and D, then trigger. However, if you see X anywhere during the
sequence, restart your search."
Count1, Count2
Count1 and Count2 are counters for specifying how many events must occur
before an event can cause a trigger. Counters allow conditions to be made
such as "Trigger after the 21st Poll packet" (see screenshot below).
The Actions window showing a condition based on a Poll packet and a counter.
This condition reads "Trigger after the 21st Poll packet."
