The Basic Right-Hand Dialog
The 8b/10b Basic Right-Hand dialog provides detailed fields and setup conditions as follows:

Use the Viewing buttons to Choose from Hexadecimal or Symbolic. Hexadecimal decode viewing
automatically ignores the non-data bits in the 10-bit symbol/character and returns a Hexadecimal value
for the 8 data bits only. Symbolic decode viewing provides a protocol-specific view of the 10-bit symbol,
using the Protocol selection to the right (and described next).
Note: Regardless of your choice here, both are shown on the table display. This selection determines
which base is used in trace annotations on the display grid.

Protocol - Make a selection from the standards available in this field. Each standard has a pre-defined
translation of the 10-bit symbol into a character name (primitive) - reference the latest version of that
particular standard for a detailed translation table.

Primitive File - Selecting Others from the Protocol field enables this field which can be used to provide
your own definition file for primitives and even name default filters.
Example primitive file for SATA.
