Software Protocol Analyzer (SWANA) Display Properties

The Software Analyzer (SWANA) Display Properties dialog box is used to configure the connection data text box.

To open the SWANA Display Properties dialog box

• In the SWANA main window, select Tools > Display Properties.

  

  Fields	Description
  Non-ASCII Display Base	Select one of the options to ensure only one base is valid at a time. Select none when only the ASCII translation is to be shown (for Open Platform Communications (OPC) protocol, for instance, the data messages are natively in ASCII form, so a non-ASCII display does not contain useful information).
  No. of bytes of non-ASCII data per line	Enter or select a value to adjust the number of ASCII characters per line. For example, if 20 hexadecimal bytes is selected for this field (as the No. of bytes of non-ASCII data per line), then 20 ASCII characters per line will be written. If 20 octal bytes is selected for this field, then 20 ASCII characters will be written. Any change to the number of non-ASCII data per line will affect only incoming connection data and not data that already appear in the SWANA connection data text box.
  Display Buffer Size (bytes)	Enter or select a value to adjust the size of the connection data textbox. The maximum buffer size is 2MB. Note: If you plan to leave SWANA running for long periods, reduce the buffer size to reduce the cost of maintaining the connection data text box; doing this will reduce SWANA resource usage. When the display buffer size is decremented, the oldest data in the connection data text box will be dropped. This may occur in the middle of a connection data message.
  Display Font Size	Enter or select a value to change the font size of the data shown in the connection data text box.
  OK and Cancel	Select OK to accept the changes that you have made or Cancel to abandon the changes before closing the dialog box.
