Note!
Time referencing will only be useful, if the time display format is set to "Seconds
Since Beginning of Capture". If one of the other time display formats are used, time
referencing will have no effect (and will make no sense either).
To work with time references, choose one of the "Time Reference" items in the "Edit" menu , see
Section 3.6, “The "Edit" menu”, or from the pop-up menu of the "Packet List" pane.
• Set Time Reference (toggle) Toggles the time reference state of the currently selected packet to
on or off.
• Find Next Find the next time referenced packet in the "Packet List" pane.
• Find Previous Find the previous time referenced packet in the "Packet List" pane.

A time referenced packet will be marked with the string *REF* in the Time column (see packet
number 10). All subsequent packets will show the time since the last time reference.
