Color-Coding the Packet Log
You can color-code certain log entries to make them stand out, including
bookmarked packets and messages that belong to certain transactions. For an
acknowledged message, a transaction includes the original message, all
acknowledgements from all receiving devices, all retries, and any challenge and
response messages. For a request/response message, a transaction includes the
request message, all response messages from all receiving devices, all retries, and
any challenge messages involved. When transaction color-coding is enabled, all
packets within the same transaction are colored the same color, so that it is
easier to find log entries for the packets involved in a particular transaction.
To use color-coding, perform the following steps:
1. Select View → Colors to open the Colors dialog, as shown in Figure 39 on
page 50.
