A session is a state of persisting communication between a device and a host during which the connection is continuous and the login and other communication parameters do not change. A session begins with an OpenSession operation, which establishes the communications connection and parameters, and ends with a CloseSession operation.
A session contains all object transfers (and their transactions), plus all transactions that do not belong to object transfers, between an OpenSession operation and a CloseSession operation. For PTP, all PTP Object Transfers and all PTP Transactions that occur from the OpenSession operation to the CloseSession operation is a single PTP Session.
The PTP Session trace viewing level is the highest PTP level. To view PTP sessions, you can do one of the following:
-
From the toolbar, click the down arrow on the PTP button, then select PTP Object.
