Quick Display Filters are similar to the automatic display filters described
in Using Automatic Display Filters on page 174 – they filter the active
Decode tab based on selected portions of the currently selected packet
in the Decode tab.
The main differences between Quick Filters and Automatic Display Filters
are as follows:
Quick Filters take effect immediately without displaying the Define
Filter dialog box.
The Select matching, Clear selected, and Apply on selected
set options all work the same way for Quick Filters as they do for
Automatic Display Filters, as described in Filtered Tabs or Marked
Frames? on page 176. However, instead of using the Define Filter
- Display dialog box to set these options, you set them globally for
Quick Filters in the Display > Display Setup > Packet Selection
tab (see Display Setup > Packet Selection Options on page 195).
To set a Quick Filter:
1 In a Decode tab, select the packet to use as a filter source.
2 Use the Automatic Filter Type Selection dropdown in the Decode
toolbar to specify which portion of the packet you want to use as a
filter (Figure 8-8).
Figure 8-8. Selecting the Automatic Filter Type
You can select from the same options available for Automatic
Display Filters, as described in Table 8-7 on page 174.
