4.5.7.5 List of all Event Symbols
By default, the Event Display shows all events
1
, which includes control signal changes, start and end of frame
characters and flow control changes. If you want to see only the data bytes, click on the All Events button . Click
again to display all events.
Click on a symbol, and the analyzer displays the symbol name and sometimes additional information in the status
lines at the bottom of the Event Display window. For example, clicking on a control signal change symbol
displays which signal(s) changed.
In addition to data bytes, the events shown are (in alphabetical order):
Symbol Event
Abort
Broken Frame - The frame did not end when the analyzer expected it to. This occurs most often
with protocols where the framing is indicated by a specific character, control signal change, or
other data related event.
Buffer Overflow - Indicates a buffer overflow error. A buffer overflow always causes a broken
frame.
Control Signal Change - One or more control signals changed state. Click on the symbol, and
the analyzer displays which signal(s) changed at the bottom of the Event Display window.
Data Capture Paused - The Pause icon was clicked, pausing data capture. No data is recorded
while capture is paused.
Data Capture Resumed - The Pause icon was clicked again, resuming data capture.
Dropped Frames - Some number of frames were lost. Click on the symbol, and the analyzer
displays many frames were lost at the bottom of the Event Display window.
End of Frame - Marks the end of a frame.
Flow Control Active - An event occurred which caused flow control to become active (i.e.
caused the analyzer to stop transmitting data) Events which activate flow control are signal
changes or the receipt of an XON character.
Flow Control Inactive - An event occurred which caused flow control to become inactive (i.e.
caused the analyzer to transmit data). Events which deactivate flow control are signal changes
or the receipt of an XOFF character.
Frame Recognizer Change - A lowest layer protocol was selected or removed here, causing the
frame recognizer to be turned off or on.
I/O Settings Change - A change was made in the I/O Settings window which altered the baud,
parity, or other circuit setting.
Long Break
Table 4.12 - Event Symbols
1
An event is anything that happens on the circuit or which affects data capture. Data bytes, control signal changes, and long
and short breaks are all events, as are I/O Settings changes and Data Capture Paused and Resumed.
