6.5 Markers

A marker is a unique label for a packet. Markers are especially useful as a way of navigating

directly to a specific packet by using the Go to Marker command on the Search menu.

Setting a marker also allows you to associate a comment with the packet. Marked packets

can be identified by the red bar on the left edge of the packet number field.

Trigger events are automatically marked by Merlin Mobile. Trigger markers contain the

comment “Trigger.”
