command has been sequentially visualized.

Viewing Decoded Payload for NVMe Commands

For NVMe commands that retrieve information from NVMe registers in a specific data structure
format, you can view the returned data structure in the same format as defined in the NVMe protocol
specifications. For instance, the Identify command or the Get Features command returns information
in a specific data structure format defined in NVMe specifications. The Transaction Decode tab
displays the decoded payload for such commands to present the data structure for such commands
as per the defined format.

The third transaction represents the command completion entry that the controller writes to the
completion queue.
The fourth transaction represents the MSI-X interrupt generated by the controller to indicate that
a completion entry has been added to the completion queue.
The fifth transaction indicates to the controller that the host has processed the completion entry
that the controller added to the completion queue.
Right-click the transaction displayed for the command in the Transaction Decode tab.
