Packet Capture

Packet Capture

Capture is used to analyze all or filtered data traffic and save complete or
truncated frames into a buffer. It allows to precisely observe network
truncated data, or to understand errors and unwanted behavior.

From the Test menu, tap Functions, and the Packet Capture tab.

Capture Source

Specifies what kind of data to be captured.

Interface captures all received frames and saves them in the capture
buffer.

Filter x captures only frames that match the selected filter and saves
them in the capture buffer. Select the filter number from the list. Only
enabled filters are available, see Filters on page 269.

The selected filter will be reserved for data capture and will not be
available for filter configuration.
