Features

Hardware timestamps

Hardware timestamps (if supported) can offer more accurate timestamps.

To enable hardware timestamps check the box in Settings --> Backend --> General --> Enable Hardware timestamps.

Pre SoC Cycles

In some scenarios debugging the network traffic that came before the first SoC is neccessary.

When enabled every SoA is treated as a SoC, before the firtst SoC is detected.

To enable Pre SoC Cycles check the box in Settings --> Backend --> Input Handler --> Enable Pre SoC Cycles.
