the stream. The Auto CRC check box specifies if a valid CRC will be automatically generated for the stream.

Stream Buttons

The Add, Add File..., Modify, Delete, and Edit Data... buttons perform functions for a single stream.

	Table 8-1. Stream Function Buttons
Stream Button	Stream Function
Add	Adds a new stream after the currently selected stream in the Defined
	Streams window. The values displayed in the fields of the Transmit
	Specification window are used as the values for the new stream.
Add File…	Adds a new stream defined by capture file (.CAP or .HST file) in the
	Defined Streams window. A dialog box appears asking for the name
	of the capture file. The first packet in the capture file is the defined
	stream. All subsequent packets in the capture file are ignored.
Modify	Changes the definition of the current stream. The values displayed in
	the fields of the Transmit Specification window overwrite the values
	of the currently selected stream.
Delete	Deletes the currently selected stream.
Edit Data…	Brings up the packet editor. You can use the packet editor to modify
	the currently selected stream.

Transmission Mode and Status Controls

The Transmission Mode radio buttons control how many times all streams are transmitted once they are loaded to the module. You can transmit the entire specification n times or continuously. The transmission mode is not part of the Transmit Specification when saving to a file and must be set each time you load the Transmit Specification.

The Transmission Status section provides information about the number of activated streams, speed of transmission, and the amount of module memory used by active streams.

Transmit Specification Control Buttons

The Load Module, Open Specs, and Save Specs buttons perform functions on a complete Transmit Specification. Be sure to use the Load Module button to load the specification to the module before you begin transmission. The Template button allows you to use predefined data as a starting point for new stream. It also lets you create Magic Packets™.
