Most dialogs and views of the Network Analyzer can display addresses in three different formats. The 'User' format will display the user-defined name of an address. This name can be modified on the Address Filter pages of the Settings dialog or in the Edit Address Information dialog. If no name was defined, the 'System' format is used instead. The following table gives an overview of the different 'System' and 'Raw' address name formats used in the Network Analyzer address database and a short description of the edit box in the corresponding address filter dialog. The edit box can be used to add addresses in the raw format to the address database.
