6.8.1 Export to Text Format

This option saves a Trace (.blt) file as a text (.txt) file in packet view format. This means that

the file will contain the text from the fields in the Trace file.

To export a Trace file to packet view format:

Step 1 Select File > Export > Packets to Text (Packet View Format).

The Export Packets/Messages/Protocols to text dialog will appear.

Step 2 Enter a starting packet, message, or protocol number on the “From” line, or

select a marker from the drop-down list, and enter an ending packet,

message, or protocol number on the “To” line of the dialog, or select a

marker from the drop-down list. Clicking the Reset Range to Whole Trace

button sets the From and To entries to include all of the packets in the Trace.

Note: If there are no markers in the Trace file, the drop-down list of markers will

not be available.

Step 3 Click OK.

The Save Packets/Messages/Protocols in Text Format... dialog will appear.
