-
Once you are satisfied with your settings, click OK.
The example below shows the Data Pattern set to Repeat 4 times. That is 876543210 is repeated 4 times or a payload length of <99,999. The maximum payload length is 99,999. The maximum number of data patterns you can repeat is 256.
Find Specific Event
You can build up a specific type of event you want to Find and then Save it for later analysis of a Trace by clearing the Show just available item(s) in this trace checkbox.
Filter
Select a type of event you want to search for from the list on the left. Use the >> arrows to move it into the “Search For” window on the right.

Enter a specific time you are interested in and click OK. The Spreadsheet View will move to that time.
Go to Trigger
Select the Go to Trigger icon 
Go to Marker
