Click here for a full screenshot Frame Analysis
View data at varying levels of granularity, from frame/message level to bit/byte level, on the Frame Display Window . Frames are decoded into easy to understand English on the Frame Display Window's Decode Pane . Frames containing errors are highlighted in red in the Frame Summary pane, indicating the availability of detailed error analysis information in the Frame Decode pane. The level of drill-down analysis detail and the size of each drill-down pane are completely user controlled. Multiple Frame Display Windows can be opened simultaneously to allow users to view different sections of the captured data. Since all windows are synchronized, a range of events selected in the Frame Display Window will also be selected in all other windows and panes.
Frame Summary
View a one line high-level overview of each data frame/packet using the Summary Pane . Select a protocol layer and the most significant fields are displayed in a concise form. Selecting a frame causes a detailed view to appear in the Frame Decode pane. In order to facilitate troubleshooting, all panes are adjustable in size and are synchronized - selecting a frame in the Summary pane automatically updates the other panes, and selecting an item in the Decode pane highlights the corresponding bits or bytes in the other panes.

View a comprehensive layered decode of each frame/packet through the Decode Pane . Each field of a data frame is decoded layer-by-layer using a tree structure, with clear, concise descriptions. Selecting a field will automatically highlight the associated bytes in binary, hex, and ASCII. Selecting an item in the Decode pane will also highlight corresponding bits/bytes in other panes. Use the Summary pane to identify protocol or messaging problems and then drill-down using the Decode pane to solve the problem.
Multiple Frame Analysis
The Protocol Navigator Window displays multiple decoded packets/messages in one powerful, yet easy-to-use, decoder screen. It allows you to analyze multiple protocol layers within multiple data packets while utilizing it's quick and powerful filtering capabilities. Use the Protocol Navigator Window to find protocol problems and to drill-down in conjunction with the Frame Display Window (which is synchronized with the Protocol Navigator) to identify bit, byte, or timing problems.

Frame Level Search
Examine and search data as it is being captured (or after it has been saved), through use of the Find Function . Use the Find Function to quickly pinpoint problem areas in the captured data or to move to a specific frame. The frame level Find Function can 1) search the text of the decode for a specified string, 2) search for errors, and 3) limit the search to specific node. Data searches can also be performed at the byte level.

Tab Filters
Tab filters within the Frame Display window allow you to filter out all messages/frames that do not contain the specified protocol. This feature simplifies the process of drilling down into your messages/frames.

Quick Filters
Quick filters within the Frame Display window add powerful, yet easy to use filtering to include or exclude/hide messages/frames that contain a specific protocol, and it also allows you to filter on specific messages.

Capture and Display Filters
Sift through large volumes of data as it is being captured (or after it has been saved), and focus only on the problem areas. FTS’s unique "drill down" capability enables the user to apply new filters while preserving previous views of the data. Data can be filtered on either an "include filtered data" or "exclude filtered data" basis. Filter parameters include protocol and data pattern; advanced mode enables the user to set up complex filters. Capture and display filters can be saved for later use.

Export
The Export feature supports two types of data export: Event Export and Frame Export. Event Export outputs event level information in text or binary format. Frame Export outputs frame-level decode information in text format. Both export functions provide output that is human readable, suitable for importing into a spreadsheet or database, or useable by other programs for post-processing. Export templates suitable for this purpose (Excel/Access, comma-separated values, etc.), are included with the product, as is support for the creation of user-definable export templates. A C++ software program, which demonstrates the use of a simple API capable of reading a binary export file, is also included.
