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 19.

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

Any character after the unit is displayed. For example, hr:mn causes the time to be
displayed as 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: a 0:00:00.002,975 255< 05^ 1- 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000…

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.

Example:

TimeGap ms.us

The gap time can be identified by a leading ‘g’ in the capture, for example,

2: a 0:00:00.002,975 g 0.001,054 255< 05^ 1- 0000 0000…

The TmeDelta option line displays the delta time, which is the time from the start of the
previous frame shown to the start of the current frame.

Example:

TimeDelta ms.us

The delta time can be identified by a leading ‘d’ in the capture, for example,

2: a 0:00:00.002,975 d 0.002,975 g 0.001,054 255< 05^ 1- 0000 0000…
