  Choose the desired packet size from the "Interval" drop-down list box, or enter the desired packet size in bytes between 1 to 65500. You can change the packet size on the fly while pinging.

Universal Fast Ping plots the round trip time as a line on a realtime chart. It denotes periods with lost packets as red zones on the chart. There is a vertical line track cursor on the chart which follows the mouse, and can be used to read the exact round trip time at the mouse position. You can zoom in/out the chart and scroll the chart using the following methods:

• Zoom In/Out the Chart
  Move the mouse over the chart and use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out. You can also use [Ctrl +] or [Ctrl ↑] to zoom in, and [Ctrl -] or [Ctrl ↓] to zoom out.
• Scroll the Chart
  Drag the chart left or right, or use the scroll bar to scroll the chart. You can also use [Ctrl ←] and [Ctrl →] to scroll the chart.

Universal Fast Ping maintains and updates the following ping statistics in realtime.

• Sent:
  The number of packets sent.
• Timeout:
  The count and percentage of packets lost.
• Min:
  The minimum round trip time in milliseconds.
• Avg:
  The average round trip time in milliseconds.
• Max:
  The maximum round trip time in milliseconds.
