RAW data in Hex is preferred, you should also specify the exact time when the issue in data can be seen (For example: 2020.02.24 10:00 AM GMT +0 until 2020.02.24 13:00 PM GMT +0).

3.If you want to repeat the issue now, you can use logging functionality accessed in the same window. Just start logging by clicking "Log" replicate the issue and when the log ends attach it to the query. When logs are made they export your current configuration as well.
