The instrument captures and decodes the signal according to the standard definition
and the configuration settings.
The color-coding of the various protocol sections and errors simplifies the interpretation
of the visual display. The decode information condenses or expands, depending on the
horizontal scale. Various data formats are available to show the result values.
Decode results table
The "Decode results" table contains information about all decoded frames.
Table 13-13: Content of the Decode results table

CRC or SFD)
Start Start time of the frame
Type Type of frame (e.g. Idle, MAC or data)
Destination Destination address of the frame
Source Source address of the frame
Type/Length The sub-protocol (e.g. HTML, video, etc.) determines what meaning this field has.

word length.
