Other Program Settings

  • Monitor Format

    The choices here control the character display of the monitor view:

    • The default is Normal.

    • The Hex Dump format is used for debugging purposes especially for developers who write packet applications to work with Packet Engine Pro.

    • The ASCII format is similar to Normal except that it adds a line number in front of the data portion of the packet.

    Be aware that formats other than Normal may crash some packet applications, since PE Pro may send too much data to them.
     

  • Debug (Log Information)
     

    • The default and recommended setting for normal use is No Debug Output.
       

    • If you think you have discovered a bug/error and want to report it to the program author, select the Log to File (AGWPE.LOG) option to record all internal PE Pro activity to a log file (AGWPE.log). This log file is stored in your PE Pro folder. When you report the problem, please send a copy of the AGWPE.log file, too.

      *WARNING*
      New data is continually added to the AGWPE.log file, so it could grow VERY large. For that reason, it is best to deselect this option as soon as you have no further need for it -- make a note to help you remember. Also, since t
      here is no provision in PE Pro to manage this file, you will need to do that from Windows. Either use a text editor to trim it or delete it completely (PE Pro just creates a new AGWPE.log file the next time this option is selected).
       

    • To view the real time program output, select console output, but you will need a debugging program to view it. Try DebugView.
       

  • Date/Time Format

    This setting determines the time stamp display in
    Monitor view and the time/date stamp in the Stations Heard view.
     

    • Local Time is based on your computer's time.
       

    • GMT Time (or UTC time) is calculated from the local time adjusted for the time zone/daylight savings time settings you have selected in Windows.
