4.2.2 Uploading
When the analyzer has stopped recording, it begins uploading the data to the PC. The upload
can be interrupted by selecting Record > Stop from the menu bar, pressing the Stop button
on the standard toolbar, or pressing the Escape key on the keyboard. The interruption opens
the Abort Upload dialog box, which offers the following options:
• Stop, but preserve existing upload data.
This option will display a Trace that contains the data up to the point that the upload was
interrupted.
• Continue as if abort not initiated.
This option will cause the upload to continue normally.
• Flush data and cancel Trace completely.
This option will completely void the upload and no Trace file will be created from the
data.
The uploaded data is displayed as a traffic recording (.fdb) Trace file. The file is given the
default name specified in the Trace Filename & Path section on the General tab of the
Recording Options dialog. If it's not specified, the name defaults to data.fdb. A default file
is overwritten each time a recording is made. The Trace file should be saved with a unique
name if you want to keep it for future reference.
4.2.3 Recording Status
When FireInspector is recording bus traffic, information about the recording session is
shown in a three-part display on the status bar at the bottom of the FireInspector application
window. The first part of the display shows the progress of the recording. The second part
indicates whether the analyzer is waiting for a trigger, has detected a trigger, or is uploading
data. The third part shows the activity level while recording and shows what percentage of
the data has been transferred during uploading.
Pre-Trigger
Prior to a trigger event, the recording state is represented by a progress bar. The color of the
bar matches the color designated for pre-trigger packets on the Color/Format/Hiding tab of
the Display Options dialog. A vertical black line in the progress field indicates the trigger
position. Meanwhile, the second portion of the display flashes “Trigger?” until the trigger
event is detected. The amount of activity on the bus is portrayed by the vertical lines in the
third section of the display; the more lines there are, the more bus activity there is.
