Root Protocol

By default, Structure View visualizer always uses the predefined “root” protocol when it parses incoming packets. The following table describes default root protocols for each supported source type:

TypeDefault Protocol Name
NetworkEthernet
USBUsb
SerialSerial

Each individual Structure View window allows you to select another protocol to become a root for each packet. If monitored packet does not belong to the selected protocol, it is never displayed, thus the root protocol may also behave like a filter.

To change the root protocol, do one of the following:

Root Protocol

Select the protocol from a list. If you are changing the setting for a running session, use the Affect only new packets switch to control the change behavior.

If you leave the switch unchecked, the session will be paused until the Structure View visualizer finishes updating.
