selection changes in the event grid,
selection. When a single port is selected in the port selection, exchanges corresponding to that port
are displayed. Exchanges displayed can originate or end on that port based on the configuration
used in Expert while processing the trace. The text for a wire event or PDU with an error is shown
in red. Similarly, the text for an wire event or PDU with a warning is shown in orange, and a
warning icon is shown next to the exchange.
When an exchange is expanded, wire events and PDUs in both directions may be displayed if both
ports are loaded. If some of the ports are not loaded, the error message, "No port is loaded" is
displayed in summary column for the wire events not loaded. The direction of a wire event or PDU
is indicated by an arrow next to the wire event. A right arrow indicates traffic from host to drive,
and a left arrow indicates traffic from drive to host.
Exchanges View contains a toolbar with some of the same functionality as the main bar for the
main event grid. The toolbar allows you to open the
previous/next event, apply detailed filter, apply quick filter, or apply quick hide.

Expert does not generate an exchange if the beginning of the exchange is not part of the capture.
However, Expert will generate a pending exchange when the beginning of the exchange is part of
the capture but the end of the exchange is not.
