PCapNg Files Format Option for Save
TraceView supports traces being saved as PCapNg (PCAP Next Generation) files so that they can
be used by applications other than Xgig Analyzer. These files are saved with the .pcapng file
extension.
Surveyor Format Options for Save
Gigabit Ethernet captures can be saved as Surveyor format files. The Surveyor application can be
used to open and view the decodes. To save the trace in Surveyor format use the
box in the
Files (.cap)
When saving as a .cap file, TraceView may save the trace as multiple files. More than one .cap file
is created when the total number of bytes converted exceeds 512MB. Subsequent files will have a
similar file name as the first converted file with a number in the file name. For example, if you
save a trace as temp_GE.cap where the trace contains 1250MB, the save results in three files
named in the following format:
temp_GE.cap
temp_GE_0536870928.cap
temp_GE_1073741864.cap
