Find Functionality

Find allows searches on an open trace using one or more criteria. You can search by packet, transactions, split transaction, transfer, packet type, and fields within packets. You can also search for Standard and Hub Request Types.

To open the Find Dialog, go to Search > Find on the Menu Bar, or click the Search icon att_12_for_336987721.png in the toolbar.

Using the Find Function

Searches can combine criteria using the options Intersection and Union.

  • Intersection creates AND statements such as “Find all packets with x and y.”

  • Union creates OR statements such as “Find all packets with x OR y.”

You can also perform searches in which packets or events are excluded from a trace, using the Exclusion option.

  1. Open the Find Dialog.

  2. Select the type of traffic you’re interested in from the Protocol area.

  3. Select a level of traffic (for example: Packet, Transaction, or Transfer) from the Search for list.

  4. Select one or more event types from the Event Groups box.

  5. Select one of the following options:
    att_13_for_336987721.png Union: Find all packets matching ANY of the specified events.

    att_14_for_336987721.png Intersection: Find packets matching ALL of the specified events.

    att_15_for_336987721.png Exclusion: Exclude packets matching any of the specified events.

    Exclusion works with the other two options:

    Select Union AND Exclusion (=Exclude packets with ANY of the following fields)

    OR

    Intersection AND Exclusion (=Exclude packets with ALL of the following fields)

  6. Select any of the following options:

    • Set the search Direction and Origin.

    • Check to Search in Hidden. This option looks for the selected items even if you have currently hidden them.

    • Check to Find All. This option opens a new Trace View window that con- tains ONLY the items for which you are searching. Subsequent searches or actions cannot modify this window, so it never contains any other packets. Use this option only when you want to check how many packets a specific search criterion puts in the Main Trace View.

  7. Click OK. After the search finishes, the program displays the packets meeting the search criteria.

The resulting item will be shown as selected in the view. Packet Selection works with Find.

Data Pattern Mask and Match

If you select Data Pattern as the Event Group in the Find dialog, you can set the Bitmask, Mask, and Match for each bit.

Data Pattern Mask and Match Dialog

Bitmask and Match always correlate. When you set Bitmask or Match. the other changes to maintain their correlation.

NOTE: If you set Bitmask/Match before setting Mask, the Mask changes to the default mask. You must change to the Mask that you want.

If you set an appropriate Mask before setting Bitmask/Match, the Mask does not change automatically to a default mask if you change Bitmask/Match.
