Surveyor

User’s Guide

Use the bottom portion of the dialog box to set the point from which Surveyor will measure time when calculating and displaying the elapsed time stamp of each packet. Set “time-zero” for capture in the Elapsed Time Set Mark Option portion of the Display Options dialog box. The default option is Module Arm Time, which starts time zero at the time the module is started. Select Frame ID nnn's Arrival Time and set the frame ID number in the box to start time zero when a particular frame arrives. Setting this field only effects the display of the Elapsed Time field in the protocol decode.
