Graphical Event Viewer Plugin User Manual

This viewers shows a list of the events that are included in the currently viewed time interval. This is a detailed manner of seeing each event's information.

Showing this viewer is as simple as adding it to the current tab by selecting the Insert Event Viewer menu item from the Tools menu or by clicking on this viewer's Insertion Button. You can then use up/down arrows buttons and delete button when the viewer is selected to change it's position in the tab or remove it.

It them appears in the current tab. If there are events to display in the current time frame selected by the tab, you should already see them in the list. You can move the scrollbar on the right side up and down to display the different events in the list. As you can see, this list is limited to the currently viewed time interval. In order to see more events in this list, you can use a Zoom Extended of the main window (this will show all the trace's events). You can also specify the laps of time you want to see using the main window's Show Time Frame.

One important feature of this plugin is the ability to inform the tab in which it resides of the currently selected event. By clicking on an event, it will appear highlighted in the list and this event will then become the current event.

The events shown are selected by the filters applied on them. Hence, you can configure the viewer's associated filter using various criterias in order to select the events you want to show.

By clicking on the viewer with the right mouse button, a popup menu appears, giving the opportunity to configure the viewer's filter or to configure the viewer itself. Configuration of the filter will be explained in another document, but event viewer's configuration follows.

The viewer's configuration window permits a selection of the fields that must be displayed in the event viewer. There are fields which can always be selected, as, for example, event type or time of the event, while there are fields that are specific to the event types present in the trace. A browse list, following the nested architecture of the description of events, will show all the available fields on the left. A list at the right side will list all the currently selectied fields. Two arrows in the middle of the two lists can be used to add or remove a field from the shown fields list.
