EARLY FIELD TRIAL Printing Decoded Packets Raw Capture Mode Postcapture Analysis You can print the decoded data packets in the Decode Display. You can print a line-by-line list of the packets in the Summary pane, a list of protocol fields in the Detail pane, the hex data in the Hex pane, or a combination of any of the three panes. To print decoded packets, select Print from the File menu to display the Print dialog box. Use this dialog box as follows: In the Print Range area, select the range of packets you want to print. In the Format area, select which panes (Summary, Detail, Hex) you want to print and whether to print the data in commaseparated values format for import into a spreadsheet application. If you enable the CSV Format and Print to file options, you may want to replace the default .PRN extension for printed output with a .CSV extension. The .CSV extension tells most spreadsheet applications (including MS-Excel) to expect comma-delimited data and import it accordingly (that is, with each comma-separated value in its own column). NOTE: If you open a CSV Format file saved with the default .PRN extension in MS-Excel, you will be prompted to supply the character used for the delimiter in the file. As you would expect when the CSV Format option is enabled, the delimiter used in the saved output file is a comma. Check the Print to File option to output the decoded data packets to a file. During printing, you can use the Abort Printing toolbar button or File > Abort Printing menu selection to abort the current print job. Changing the Format of Printed Summary Pane Data You can control which optional fields in the Summary pane are included in printed output, and what order they are printed in. Summary pane fields are printed in a "what you see is what you get" ("WYSIWYG") format -- columns in the pane are printed in the same order in which they are show in the Decode display. Because of this, you can use the following techniques to control the format of printed summary data: User’s Guide 207
