The ControlNet Traffic Analyzer Tool 2-5
The MAC Frame Data View (the Lower Part)
The MAC Frame Data view is used to show the ControlNet MAC
frames captured during the analysis. You can have it filtered through
the post-filter before the data is displayed.
You have the possibility to view the data in different formats using the
display options. Display options are explained in “Display
Information,” Chapter 5.
The following graphic shows an example of MAC Frame Data view,
showing three frame records in Interpreted format. See “Data Format,”
page 5-2, for an explanation of the three data formats.
MAC Frame Data view information is interpreted as follows:
IMPORTANT
If you filter data through the post-filter, you will see only the
data after a post-filtering and not necessarily all data recorded
in the buffer. By default, when you open a new document,
post-filtering is disabled.
Column header name Identifies
Frame #
the number of the recorded MAC frame in the collection
buffer.
Time the time formats. The four time formats are days, hours,
minutes, and seconds. See “Time Display,” page 5-2 for
an explanation of each option.
Status the status of frames. The three statuses are Good, Bad,
and Null. See “Status of Frames,” page 4-4 for an
explanation of each status. In short display, only the first
letter (G, B, or N) of each term displays.
Type the displayed types. The four types are Sched..
(scheduled), Unsch.. (unscheduled), Moder.. (moderator),
or Aborted (a special case used only for bad frames). See
“ControlNet Messages,” page 1-2 for an explanation of
each type. In short display, only the first letter (S, U, M, or
A) of each term displays.
