Packet Capture Mode 61
Decode and Analysis Pairs (Matrix)
Pairs (Matrix) view in Decode and Analysis is similar in appearance and function to
Observer’s Pair Statistics (Matrix) mode. The difference is that the display is static,
reflecting distribution of conversations in the capture buffer, rather than, as with Pair
Statistics (Matrix) mode, dynamic: reflecting an ongoing, updated distribution of what
is happening on the monitored segment. While the graphical display in Pair Statistics
(Matrix) mode changes as Observer receives new data, in Decode and Analysis – Pairs
(Matrix) view, the display will only change when a new capture is loaded into the buffer
or a new filter is applied to the present capture.

Observer will ignore packets. Latency configuration will make Observer only track
packets that are part of a true conversation flow.
