Starting a Search
You can search your data in several different ways.
To Begin a Search
- Open a capture file to search.
- Open the Event Display or Frame Display window.
- Click on the Find icon or choose Find from the Edit menu.
- The Find window has a tab for each type of search. Click on the appropriate tab for the type of search you want to do.
- Select the parameters for your search, and click Find Next. Find Next looks for the next occurrence of the search criteria, while Find Previous looks for an earlier occurrence of the search criteria.
- Press F3 to repeat the last search.
Search results are highlighted in the Event or Frame Displays, or both if appropriate. The selection in the Event Display appears on the third line down from the top of the window by default: this value can be changed.
