3.1.1 Quick View
Quick View is enabled as the default setting in Preferences > Trace Viewer tab. Quick
View allows full access to the whole trace more quickly, especially when using a Gigabit
Ethernet connection. However, the trace is NOT written to the host machine’s hard drive.
To save the trace, you must manually click Save.
If you uncheck Quick View in the Preferences > Trace Viewer tab to disable Quick View,
the trace loads more slowly, but is automatically saved to the host machine’s hard drive.
When Quick View is disabled, the Viewer displays successive parts of trace data as they
upload. As soon as a trace part uploads, it is available in all trace views.
If you only need quick successive traces, and do not need to save them, keep the default
setting to enable Quick View.
If you need to save all captured traces, unchecking the Quick View setting loads traces
faster, especially for larger traces and slower connections than Gigabit Ethernet.
To refresh the viewer display with more uploaded data, scroll to the end of the trace,
using scroll bars, page down, arrow down, or CTRL‐End. Newly uploaded data then
appears there.
Note: High‐level decoding and statistics are available only after the whole trace has uploaded.
The software automatically switches to full trace view after trace uploading finishes.
Note: Users must press CTRL Home to go to the beginning of an uploaded trace, and CTRL End to go to
the end of an uploaded trace.
