Attachment Types and Visualization
The markers are represented graphically by a yellow triangle at the top right of
the marked item and a red vertical bar at the left‐most cell of a packet as shown
below.
A marker may comprise any number of attachments of any types.
Embedded Attachments to a Marker
Embedded files are attached to the item marked and transported with the trace.
You can embed the following types of files to a marker:
•
Audio Files
•
Video Files
•
Image Files
•
YouTube Files
•
Web Pages
•
Text Attachments
•
Other Attachments
Attachments are embedded in the marker and saved in the trace file. Once
attachments are placed in a marker, the marker can then be presented to a user
in a story structured form. On opening the marker the window resembles the
marker editing dialog.
Note: The use of Audio and Video markers is limited to the file types supported on
a user’s system. CATC Walk has been tested with .mp3 and .wmv files,
which are supported by Windows as installed. If additional codecs are
installed, they should also work, but it is the user’s responsibility to choose
formats that will work for whomever they intend to exchange CATC trace
files (no different than email attachments in this regard). Because of this
dependency on installed codecs, there are situations where bugs in the
codecs supplied by Microsoft or third‐party applications can prevent proper
operation of the Teledyne LeCroy PETracer application. See the Teledyne
LeCroy PETracer Application Read‐Me file for more information if you have
problems with application crashes, etc.
