Search Traces | Protocol Solutions User Documentation

The Search feature provides several options for searching through recorded traffic, which allows you to find specific packets based on triggering status, packet number, marking, or content.

To view the Search options, click the Search tab in the Menu bar.

Search options are described in the table below.

Option	Description
Go to Trigger	NOTE: Go to Trigger is enabled only when a trigger has created the traffic file. The Trace View is repositioned to the first packet following the Trigger event. This packet is at the top of the screen. The resulting item will be shown as selected in the view. Packet Selection works with Go to Trigger.
Go to Selected Packet	Choose Search > Go to Selected Packet from the Menu Bar.
Go to Packet/Transaction/ Transfer	To display a specific packet: From the menu bar, select Search > Go to Packet/Transaction/ Transfer. The following dialog box pops up.

The Trace View is repositioned with the selected packet at the top of your screen.
Go to Marker	To instruct the analyzer to display a marked packet: Select Go to Marker under Search on the Menu Bar. A drop-down menu listing the marked packets in that Trace View appears. Select the desired packet from the list. The Trace View is repositioned with the selected packet at the top of the screen. NOTE: Go to Marker functions in conjunction with Set Marker. The comments within the parentheses following each marked packet are added or edited with the Set Marker feature. See Markers to learn more. Use Ctrl+M to go immediately to the All Markers dialog. Packet Selection works with Go to Marker.
