Switch to Transactions View

A Transaction is defined in the USB specification as the delivery of service to an endpoint. This consists of a token packet, an optional data packet, and an optional handshake packet. The specific packets that make up the transaction vary based upon the transaction type.

The program default display mode is Packet View. Before you can view decoded transactions, you must switch from Packet View to Transactions View.
