Using Capture + Monitor Mode in Detail View

In Detail View you can have both Monitor and Capture views of data. The use of these two modes together allows you to monitor traffic at the same time as you look at the contents of previously captured data. However, some of ways you can look at the capture or monitor data are the same. For example, you can view a host table for the monitor data and also view a host table for the contents of the capture buffer. Because the formatting of the data in both of these views is identical, Surveyor provides the following visual distinctions to help you distinguish between capture and monitor views:

•For table information of the capture buffer data, all data in the table is grayed.

•For monitor data, the column and row titles are gray, but the data in the table is white.

•The title bar for a monitor view reads “Monitor View” and the title bar for a capture view reads “Capture View.”
