Issue Details

When opening a database with the NI-XNET Database Editor, I can see the clusters and frames within the Networks tree but no PDUs (Protocol Data Units).

Solution

To show the PDUs in the classic NI-XNET Database Editor, enable Use PDUs in the Options menu, as shown in the image below.

NI-XNET Database Editor (Preview)

To show the PDUs in the newer NI-XNET Database Editor Preview, click on Show All PDUs in the View menu, as displayed below. Revisiting should show now Hide PDUs (Unless Required)as an option in the View menu.
