Frames with Bad Status

Frames with bad status are shown with an asterisk before the frame data.
For example,

357: a 0:00.748,593 *255< 05^ 55- 00 00 00 00 00

To suppress the inclusion of frames with bad status, include the NoBad
option line.

However, badly formed frames are automatically displayed, whether they
are selected by the contents of the option file or not, along with some
indication of the cause of the problem. For example,

9289: a 0:00:19.423,410 d 5,666 g 2,545 ....FrmLen?(1)1e

See also Detailed Status on page 29.

Timestamps

The TmeAbs option line sets the format of the frame timestamp. It
specifies the units used to display the timestamp. Possible values are:

hr – hours

mn – minutes

sc – seconds

ms – milliseconds

us – microseconds

ns – nanoseconds

Any character after the unit is included in the timestamp. For example,
hr:mn causes the format of the timestamp to be 12:37, with a colon
between the hours and the minutes.

Example:

TimeAbs hr:mn:sc.ms,us

The frame timestamp can be identified by a leading ‘a’ in the captured
data, for example,

2: a11.000,517 ........ 54<0 SRDH 00

Two other times can be displayed using the same format.

The TimeGap option line displays the gap time, which is the time from
the end of the previous frame to the start of the current frame.
