5. Click other tabs and choose what entries you want to add to your filter, such as an application from the TCP
Applications tab. When selecting options from different tabs a filter is built, and it uses a logical AND to build
it.
6. Click the Update Chart button. This refreshes the Detail Chart using the filter you built.
You have filtered data in the GigaStor Control Panel, which may suffice. You can also choose to further analyze
the data. See Analyzing data by combining GigaStor Control Panel and Observer filters (page

If you chose "Create analysis filter using checked GigaStor entries" and do not have any data or do not have the
data you expected, it may be because you applied too many filters. Try the "Analyze all traffic in the analysis
interval" option instead.
1. Complete the procedure in
2. After you have a filtered chart, click the Analyze button. The GigaStor Analysis Options window opens.
3. Because you are analyzing data with checked GigaStor entries, you have two choices:
Analyze all traffic in the analysis interval—Uses the filtered data as-is and analyzes it.
Create analysis filter using checked GigaStor entries—Creates a second filter and applies it to the
already filtered data.
4. Click OK.
Your filtered data appears in a new "Decode and Analysis" tab.

Analyzing multiple GigaStor probe instances from one GigaStor Control Panel

Combining the data of multiple GigaStor probe instances into one GigaStor Control Panel allows for quick and
easy isolation of information.
One example where you might use this is if you need to find information but are unsure which GigaStor probe
instance to query. Instead, you can combine the data of any GigaStor probe instances you have access to and
perform just one query.
Note:
The GigaStor Control Panel must be open for every GigaStor probe instance you want to combine for
analysis.
To analyze multiple GigaStor probe instances from one GigaStor Control Panel:
1. Choose Capture > GigaStor Control Panel
2. Click Tools.
