Right area -- Controls the specific events to be searched within the trace. The box in this
right section displays events from the selected Event Group.

The right area is context sensitive - the Event Group selected in the Center Area
determines what types of events display on the right. For example, if "Primitive Type" is
selected, the right area will display a list of Primitive types. Bold entries indicate items that
actually occurred in the trace.

In the example shown above, Primitive Types is selected. The right side of the screen
shows all of the Primitive Types that occurred in the displayed trace.

Complex

Searches

When conducting complex searches in the Find dialog box,
you first push a decode button in the toolbar to enable
Frames, Transactions, SCSI Operations, or Management
Transactions
in the Search for... box.

In this example, three of the five "Search for..." choices are
enabled, and Frames is selected. The Event Groups box in
the Find dialog contains available choices based on the
selection.

After you have selected a choice in the Event
Groups, the box on the right of the Find window will
present choices based on your selection. In the
following example, the box displays the frame
types that are available in the trace:

Event

Groups

Event Groups are categories of events that can occur in a trace. Clicking on an Event
Group will display a list of Event types on the right side of the Find window that occur
within each Event Group.

Union,

Intersection,

and

Exclusion

If multiple events are selected, use the options Union, Intersection or Exclusion to
conduct the search.

Union is used to search for any selected event: "Find x or y." Union lets you tell the
Analyzer to search the trace for any of the selected items.

Intersection is used to search for all selected events: "Find x and y." Intersection lets you
tell the Analyzer to search the trace for any packet having all of the selected events.

Exclusion is used to exclude selected traffic from the trace. Exclusion is used with Union
and Intersection --i.e., you select Exclusion with Union or Intersection.

Exclusion + Union -- Exclude packets with any of the specified events.

Exclusion + Intersection -- Exclude packets with all of the specified events.
