Decode View

Home > Reference > Main Window > Decode View

The Decode View displays detailed information about the packet that was selected in the Packet List View. The corresponding binary data is displayed in hexadecimal format in the Hex View on the right of the decode view. Source addresses and ports are displayed in blue, destination addresses and ports in green.

The detail level of the displayed data in the decode view can be adjusted. To see the complete packet content with all details, click the All Details button or use the View > Detail > All menu command. To get only common details, click the Common Details button . To see only the most important information, use the Minimum Details button . As above you can also use the corresponding menu commands in the View > Detail submenu.

If you reduce the detail level, some flag information may only be displayed partially. In this case the text will become gray to indicate that the corresponding value is not visible in the hex view.

You can toggle between colored text display and black and white text display with the Toggle B/W output button or the View > B/W output menu command.

To print the contents of the view use the Print button or the File > Print menu command. You can also use the File > Print Preview menu command. See Printing and Copying for more information.
