Traces annotated by Expert contain additional information that can be used to filter/hide
information in the trace. See
information on annotated traces.
There are also some common filtering operations that are available from the toolbar, such as
hiding ordered sets or displaying only overlapping data. A filter status area provides you a quick
synopsis of all the filtering you have applied to the trace.

Filter Status Area

In lower right corner of the TraceView window is an area that shows the status of the filters that
can be applied to the trace. The following status fields are shown:
• Filters
• -- indicates if ordered sets are displayed.
OS
• -- indicates if Quick Filters are applied to the data.
QF
• QH -- indicates if Quick Hides are applied to the data.
• Overlap
The speed of the link is also displayed in the status area.
An example is shown below.
In the example, the first red X indicates that no filters set up through the Filters tab are applied to
the display. The red X next to OS indicates that ordered sets are not displayed. The green check
marks indicate that the Quick Filters (QF) and Quick Hides (QH) that have been set up are applied
to the data, and that only overlapping data is displayed. The last indicator lets you know the
network speed of the trace.

Quick Filter

Use Quick Filter to select frames or other event information that you want to see exclusively in the
display. Quick Filter is primarily for filtering events based on the value of fields as you find them
in the display. For example, show only all data for Port 3. For more complex filtering operations,
see the Detailed Find/Filter/Color window.
Once you have set up a Quick Filter, use the
the Quick Filter condition. Multiple Quick Filters can be created and they can be completely
removed rather than disabled. Use the
remove conditions in the Quick Filter list. See
