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 results are shown in two tables:
●
"Decode results": contains information about all decoded frames
●
"Details frame": contains more detailed information about the selected frame in the
"Decode results" table.
