Description

PT3 Manager is a standalone application designed by ProfiTAP. It provides a
way for statistical analysis of a network, allowing for efficient excessive
bandwidth usage detection, or any low layer errors using charts prior to a
deeper investigation using an analyzer. It is also used as a firmware flashing
utility to update your product.
PT3 Manager can be used at the same time as a software network analyzer,
without the need to interrupt data capture.

Statistics

PT3 Manager provides several different visual representations for network
statistics. The following pages give an overview of these representations.
