Configuring a FIX profile

Observer uses profiles to analyze FIX data. Default profiles are in three main categories: pre-trade, trade, and
post-trade. Within each category, there are numerous variants that allow you to focus on a specific trade type,
such as "Pre-trade: Quote Negotiation." You can use the settings described here to edit, create, import, or export
a FIX profile.

Lists the name of the current profile. The current profile is the rest of the dialog
window, including the General Settings and the Type/Message.
Use this button to rename, add a new, or delete a profile. If you have numerous
GigaStor probes where you want to use the same FIX analysis options, modify or
create the profiles on one system, export them, and import them into the other
GigaStor probes.
Use this button to import FIX profiles that was created and exported from
another Observer analyzer.
Use this button to export a FIX profile.
Lists the maximum number of requests to be tracked during the time frame
selected in the Detail Chart. The default is 1000 requests. Typically, 1000 requests
should be sufficient to provide the information you seek. If it is not, you may
increase or decrease it. By increasing the amount of requests, the amount of
system resources needed to analyze the requests is also increased, which means
the analysis will take longer to complete.
If selected, duplicate requests are ignored. This is the default setting. If
unchecked, duplicate requests may be present in the analysis and reduces the
number of unique requests in the tracked requests.
Defines the maximum number of results to display in the GigaStor Control Panel
for the fastest or slowest responses.
