   5 This viewers shows a list of the events that are included in the currently
   6 viewed time interval. This is a detailed manner of seeing each event's
   7 information.
   8
   9 Showing this viewer is as simple as adding it to the current tab by selecting
  10 the Insert Event Viewer menu item from the Tools menu or by clicking on
  11 this viewer's Insertion Button. You can then use up/down arrows buttons and
  12 delete button when the viewer is selected to change it's position in the
  13 tab or remove it.
  14
  15 It them appears in the current tab. If there are events to display in the
  16 current time frame selected by the tab, you should already see them in the
  17 list. You can move the scrollbar on the right side up and down to display
  18 the different events in the list. As you can see, this list is limited to
  19 the currently viewed time interval. In order to see more events in this
  20 list, you can use a Zoom Extended of the main window (this will show all
  21 the trace's events). You can also specify the laps of time you want to see
  22 using the main window's Show Time Frame.
  23
  24 One important feature of this plugin is the ability to inform the tab in
  25 which it resides of the currently selected event. By clicking on an event,
  26 it will appear highlighted in the list and this event will then become the
  27 current event.
  28
  29 The events shown are selected by the filters applied on them. Hence, you can
  30 configure the viewer's associated filter using various criterias in order
  31 to select the events you want to show.
  32
  33 By clicking on the viewer with the right mouse button, a popup menu appears,
  34 giving the opportunity to configure the viewer's filter or to configure
  35 the viewer itself. Configuration of the filter will be explained in another
  36 document, but event viewer's configuration follows.
  37
  38 The viewer's configuration window permits a selection of the fields that
  39 must be displayed in the event viewer. There are fields which can always be
  40 selected, as, for example, event type or time of the event, while there are
  41 fields that are specific to the event types present in the trace. A browse
  42 list, following the nested architecture of the description of events, will
  43 show all the available fields on the left. A list at the right side will
  44 list all the currently selectied fields. Two arrows in the middle of the
  45 two lists can be used to add or remove a field from the shown fields list.
