Table 5-8. Matrix Toolbar Options
Button Description
Capture. Capture data associated with a single
conversation. First, select a conversation from the outline
table view and then click this button to start capture on the
selected conversation.
Define Filter. Displays the Define Filter - Capture dialog
box, pre-populated with settings based on the selected
conversation in the Outline Table.
Add to Last Filter. Displays the Define Filter - Capture
dialog box, adding information associated with the selected
conversation in the Outline Table to the previous filter
definition.
NOTE: The type of selected conversation must match the
conversation used in the previous filter for this to work. For
example, if you select an IP conversation in the Host
Table’s IP tab and click Define Filter, the Define Filter -
Capture dialog box will automatically populate for traffic
flowing between the IP addresses of the selected stations.
You could then select a second IP conversation in the IP
tab, click the Add to Last Filter button, and see the Define
Filter - Capture dialog box appear with the IP addresses of
the second conversation added to the previous
conversation. However, you could not go to the MAC tab,
select a conversation, and then add that to a filter already
populated with IP information. The filter types must match.
