Finisar Surveyor manual Protocol Distribution View, Chart

Views 6

Data Views

Frame Size Distribution View is available as a chart or a table. For the chart, the Bar and Pie buttons toggle the type of graphic display. The Pause/Resume button allows you to pause or resume real-time update of the graph.

For both the chart and the table, each range of frame sizes is expressed as a percentage of the total number of frames counted.

When using an NDIS module, the byte count in Frame Size Distribution view includes the 4 bytes of the Frame Check Sequence; however, for other views, these 4 bytes are not counted for each packet. Therefore, the total-byte counters in other views will be different than total-byte counters in Frame Size Distribution view.
