| 5 | This viewers shows a list of the events that are included in the currently |
| 6 | viewed time interval. This is a detailed manner of seeing each event's |
| 7 | information. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Showing this viewer is as simple as adding it to the current tab by selecting |
| 10 | the Insert Event Viewer menu item from the Tools menu or by clicking on |
| 11 | this viewer's Insertion Button. You can then use up/down arrows buttons and |
| 12 | delete button when the viewer is selected to change it's position in the |
| 13 | tab or remove it. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | It them appears in the current tab. If there are events to display in the |
| 16 | current time frame selected by the tab, you should already see them in the |
| 17 | list. You can move the scrollbar on the right side up and down to display |
| 18 | the different events in the list. As you can see, this list is limited to |
| 19 | the currently viewed time interval. In order to see more events in this |
| 20 | list, you can use a Zoom Extended of the main window (this will show all |
| 21 | the trace's events). You can also specify the laps of time you want to see |
| 22 | using the main window's Show Time Frame. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | One important feature of this plugin is the ability to inform the tab in |
| 25 | which it resides of the currently selected event. By clicking on an event, |
| 26 | it will appear highlighted in the list and this event will then become the |
| 27 | current event. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | The events shown are selected by the filters applied on them. Hence, you can |
| 30 | configure the viewer's associated filter using various criterias in order |
| 31 | to select the events you want to show. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | By clicking on the viewer with the right mouse button, a popup menu appears, |
| 34 | giving the opportunity to configure the viewer's filter or to configure |
| 35 | the viewer itself. Configuration of the filter will be explained in another |
| 36 | document, but event viewer's configuration follows. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | The viewer's configuration window permits a selection of the fields that |
| 39 | must be displayed in the event viewer. There are fields which can always be |
| 40 | selected, as, for example, event type or time of the event, while there are |
| 41 | fields that are specific to the event types present in the trace. A browse |
| 42 | list, following the nested architecture of the description of events, will |
| 43 | show all the available fields on the left. A list at the right side will |
| 44 | list all the currently selectied fields. Two arrows in the middle of the |
| 45 | two lists can be used to add or remove a field from the shown fields list. |
