4.7 The View Menu

4.7.1 Add View

The Add View function is used to open a new window with an additional view of the currently
selected USB data file. This is useful to:

view the recorded data in a different format, or

view (in conjunction with the “Tile Windows” function) two portions of the data file
simultaneously.

As the former is the more common usage, the following dialog box is automatically opened to
allow modification of the current viewing format.

Note that this is identical to the default Display Options dialog box, except for the title bar
(which is intended to remind the user that the options about to be specified are for this particular
view only, and will not be retained for subsequent use). The newly specified view of the data file
will then be displayed.

Note: The previous display window remains open; the user can switch among display windows,

or arrange them for simultaneous viewing, by using the Window menu.

4.7.2 Hide SOF

In order to reduce display “clutter”, this menu item removes the display of all Start of Frame
packets from the current view (a new view is not created; the current view is redrawn). The
action takes place immediately, unlike the otherwise equivalent operation in the Display Options
selection, where it affects subsequent presentations.

As with several of the more frequently-used Detective options, the Hide SOF feature is accorded
its own toolbar icon; this particular button indicates its current state by appearing depressed (or
not, as appropriate) in the toolbar display.
