My company builds a analyzer that provides nsec timestamps and when
I convert our format to pcap (with Wild Packets ProConvert), I

I am trying to determine what fields in pcap format need to be set
so that Wireshark can display nsec.
The magic number:

Note that you don't get to control, by what you put in *your* file
format, what magic number ProConvert uses.
Note also that you *could* contribute to Wireshark code that reads
*your* format, in which case Wireshark could read your capture files
directly, complete with nanosecond format - and people who can't run
ProConvert (yes, there are people who can't run ProConvert, because
they don't run Windows; Wireshark is a cross-platform application, not
a Windows application) could still read the file.
