Analysis
Universal Tracer has the capability to provide timing information
corresponding to each communication event that it observes.
There are 2 types of timing information that are captured:

- Elapsed - specifies the time that has elapsed from the last
event to the beginning of the corresponding event.
The timing information is displayed in millisecond, up to 3
decimal digit precision.
