Keysight Ixia IxOS - Capturing Your First Transmitted Data; Example of the Capture View Window; Using Capture

Using Capture
The Capture View shows the data captured on a port. The settings of the capture filter for that port
determine which packets are shown in the capture view (more on this later). The capture view window
is split into three panes, top downwards. The top pane is a list that contains columns for a frame index
number, a time stamp, the destination address, the source address, the packet data, the frame length,
and the error status of the frame. The middle pane contains a text decode of the contents of the packet
selected in the top window. The bottom pane contains the hexadecimal byte display of the contents of
the selected packet.
