Chapter 4: Reading Traces
This chapter describes how to read and manipulate trace displays.
4.1 Trace Display Overview
UWBTracer/Trainer trace viewing software makes extensive use of color and graphics to
fully document the captured (decoded) traffic (Figure 4.1).
Figure 4.1 Trace Display Example
Frames are shown on separate time-stamped rows, with their individual fields both
labeled and color coded. You can collapse data fields to save space in the display, and
you can zoom in and out in the display. Pop-up Tool Tips annotate fields with detailed
information about their contents.
The display software can operate independently of the hardware and so can function as
a stand-alone trace viewer that may be freely distributed.
4.2 Changing Trace Level Views
You can select the trace viewing level in the Display Options window General tab Trace
Viewing Level section (see Chapter 6, “Display Options”) or with the Trace Viewing Level
icons in the Tool bar (Figure 4.2).

Note: To find frames, packets, transactions, segments, or transfers, scroll through
the trace or use the Search > Find command (see Chapter 9, “Searching
Traces”).
