When a new pre-captured data file is loaded or new a data capture begins, the analyzer builds a structure of message fields with their relations and hierarchy. These fields will be eventually used for building the message view content per each message analyzed.
The SetupField function of the Scripts, can be used to change the fields by changing the field name (so, for example, instead of ‘RSSI’ the field will show ‘SS’ – stands for Signal Strength), the field hint (also called screen-tip), the field color, etc.
Example II:
The following example disables all fields, keeping visual only the Msg section, the signal strength, Mac sequence number and payload data. It also changes the color of the Seq number field to Blue, and changes the RSSI field name to say 'SS' (Signal Strength).
public override void SetupField(FieldTemplate field)
{
switch (field.hierarchical_description)
{
case "Mac":
{
field.visual = false; // mark as non visible
field.space = true; // add spacing
break;
}
case "Msg":
case "PayloadData":
{
field.space = true; // make field visible
break;
}
case "MacHeaderSeq":
{
field.color = Color.Blue; // set this field color to
// be blue
break;
}
case "InfoSignalStrength":
{
field.name = "SS"; // change the name displayed for
// this field
break;
}
default:
{
field.visual = false; // mark all other fields as
//non visible
field.space = false; // remove spacing
break;
}
}
}
The result of this Script is the following message structure:
