Status Bar
The Status bar is located at the bottom of the main display window. Depending on the
current activity, the bar can be divided into as many as four segments.
Recording Progress
When you begin recording, the left‐most segment of the Status Bar displays a Recording
Progress Indicator.
As recording progresses, the Progress Indicator changes to reflect the recording progress
graphically:
In the Progress Indicator, a black vertical line illustrates the location of the Trigger
Position you selected in Recording Options.
 Pre‐Trigger progress is displayed in the field to the left of the Trigger Position in
the before‐Trigger color specified in the Display Options.
 When the Trigger Position is reached, the progress indicator wiggles as it waits
for the trigger.
 After the trigger occurs, the field to the right of the Trigger Position fills in the
after‐Trigger color specified in the Display Options.
 When recording is complete, the upper half of the progress indicator fills in
white, indicating the progress of the data upload to the host machine.
You should be aware of two exceptional conditions:
 If a Trigger Event occurs during the before‐Trigger recording, the before‐Trigger
color changes to the after‐Trigger color to indicate that not all the expected data
was recorded pre‐Trigger.
 When you click Stop before or after a Trigger Event, the Progress Bar adjusts
accordingly to begin uploading the most recently recorded data.
The Progress Bar fills with color in proportion to the specified size and actual rate at
which the hardware is writing and reading the recording memory. However, the Progress
Indicator is normalized to fill the space within the Status Bar.
Recording Status
During recording, the current Recording Status is displayed in the next segment. When
you activate the Record function, this segment flashes one of the following messages
(depending on the selected Recording Options):
 Trigger?
 Triggered!
 Uploading
After recording stops,
 The flashing message changes to Uploading data–x% done (x% indicates the
percentage completion of the data uploading process).
 The traffic data is copied to disk (overwriting any previous version of this file)
using the default file name data[sn].fcs where [sn] is the serial number of the
analyzer chassis; or the name you assign as the default filename. You can also
create a file name of your choice by specifying one in the Recording Options dia‐
log box.
