The Byte Export command is sent to the analyzer to exercise the Export Byte menu option for existing frames. This command does not require capture hardware to be connected. The command format is:
“Byte Export;file=<path>;[mode=<mode>;][tab=<technology:layer>]”
For “path”:
-
If the export path represents just a file name, the configured log directory will be prepended.
-
The file extension must be “.txt” for the Byte Export command.
The “mode” values are the same as for the Export command in the above section.
The “tab” values (technology and layer) are the same as for the Export command in the previous section.
Response: “BYTE EXPORT;<status>[;Reason=<reason>]” where a reason will only be supplied for FAILED status.
Example – “Byte Export;file=export2.txt;tab=Classic:SCO/eSCO”
If your capture file does not contain the specified layer name OR you make an error in entering the layer name then the byte export command will export the currently selected layer. In other words, there will not be an error notification for this case.
Byte Export can cause the analyzer to spend considerable time generating the file.
