Scripts  or

While data capture is on-going, user defined Scripts may be applied on the received packets.

Scripts allow determining which messages will be displayed in the Time View, added to Message View, control the messages properties (color, name), generate events and alarms to the Events Log, build data into statistics charts, send e-mail when specific messages are received, terminate the capture based on a given scenario and much more.

For example the following Script:

if (packet.Field("InfoRelatedMessagesAckTo").Exist)

{

packet.AddToTimeView(Color.Gray);

}

will set the color of ack messages to gray.

Note: Although the Scripts may define that only a subset of the messages will be shown in the Time View window, all messages captured will be saved to the .ANL file.

In Off-Line Capture (background) mode, while the Data Capture uses the Off-Line Data Capture scripts, a different set of scripts may be used when analyzing other data pre-captured files (as set in the new file form, or as defined in a previously saved workspace).

See chapter ‎V.2 for details on using the Peryton-Scripting Add-On to write and modify Scripts.
