<h1 class="topictitle1">Frame class</h1>
<div><p></p>
<div class="section"><p>The Frame class represents all the data in one record,
or frame, in a communications trace for a LAN line description. Each Frame
contains three main sections of data that appear in the following order:</p>
<ol><li>An initial 24-byte section that contains general information about the
frame</li>
<li>General information about the frame (represented by the LanHeader class)</li>
<li>The packet data (represented by subclasses of the IPacket abstract class) </li>
</ol>
<p>Use the Frame class to parse and create a printable representation
the data in the frame. The Frame class maintains the packet data in a linked
list-like structure that uses specific formats. For specific information
about the possible formats for packet data in a frame and for general information
about the structure of a frame, see the following:</p>
<blockquote> <p><a href="rzahhcommtracemodel.htm#rzahhcommtracemodel">Commtrace
model</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>The Frame class provides methods that allow you to
perform a variety of actions that include the following:</p>
<ul><li>Retrieve the data packet</li>
<li>Retrieve the number, status, and type of the frame</li>
<li>Return specific data from the frame as a formatted String</li>
</ul>
<p>You can use the following process to access the data in a packet:</p>
<ol><li>Use Frame.getPacket() to retrieve the packet</li>
<li>Access the data in the header by calling Packet.getHeader()</li>
<li>After you retrieve the header, call Header.getType() to find the type</li>
<li>Use the specific Header subclass to to access the data associated with
that header (the payload) and any additional headers</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Example</h4><p>The following example shows how you can
use many of the commtrace classes, including the Format and FormatProperties
classes, to display trace information to your monitor:</p>
