Fieldbus Related Features
Fieldbus Protocol Decoders Included
- Allen Bradley Data Highway Plus – requires DL3000
hardware.
- Allen Bradley DH-485 – requires RS-485 serial card.
- DeviceNet – requires SST/Woodhead DeviceNet card.
- CAN 2.0A – requires SST/Woodhead DeviceNet card.
- ControlNet – requires Rockwell PCC-1784 hardware.
FrameDecoder
- Comes with the NetDecoder Communications Analyzer.
- Gives you the ability to quickly create custom decodes for proprietary protocols and
extensions to existing protocol decoders.
Data Capture
- Captured data includes data bytes, control signals, and
error conditions.
- Data can be captured to a single file or a series of files.
- File Series Option automatically closes and saves a capture
file to disk based on size or a predefined time, and then opens a new capture file
incremented by 1 and continues data capture.
- Add notes to your capture files describing the contents of
the data for use with resolving problems and archiving.
Data Displays
- Data can be analyzed in real-time using the Network Display
 , Event Display , Frame Display ,
Protocol Navigator , Signal Display ,
Breakout Box
, and Statistics Windows.
- Multiple synchronized windows can be viewed simultaneously.
- Frame/Packet contents are decoded to the byte and bit level.
- Byte level information is displayed.
- Characters can be displayed in ASCII, EBCDIC, or Baudot.
- Nonprintable characters are displayed using hex and
mnemonics.
- Supported radix’s include hex, octal, decimal and
binary.
- Decoded data formats supported include 16 bit Integers, 32
bit Integers, IEEE 32 bit Floating Point, 32 bit Reverse Floating Point, and ASCII.
- Add bookmarks to highlight important bytes and frames for
easy access.
Search
Search criteria include:
- Byte Level: timestamp, errors, and patterns (patterns
include wildcard characters at the bit level, nibble level, and byte level);
- Frame Level: timestamps, frame decodes can be searched on
the text of the decode, with or without wildcards.
Capture and Display Filters
- Display
filter parameters include
filter-in or filter-out protocols, messages, data patterns, and advanced
mode for complex filters.
- Quick filters for the Frame Display and
Protocol Navigator Windows include
protocol filtering in and out, filtering on the summary pane, and
filtering on messages.
- Tab filters in the Frame Display allow
you to filter in frames/messages that contain a specific protocol.
Statistics Display
- Provides network totals for characters, bytes, frames/messages,
events, errors, characters, and frames/messages per second, percentage
utilization and frame/message size distribution.
Timestamping
- Provides both absolute and relative displays of event timing
for bytes and frames/messages.
- Calculates time intervals between frames/messages (delta
time) and effective data rate.
- Timestamp resolution to <1 microsecond
Configuration Management
- I/O configurations, protocol stacks, and filters can be
saved for future use.
Export Features
- Using the Export Utility
Export Events or
Export Frames in text or binary format.
- Export output suitable for importing into a spreadsheet, database or
other post-process program for intricate analysis of the data.
- Frame Display Window Summary Pane Export, exports the
contents of the Summary Pane into CSV format for loading into spreadsheets or
other programs to do intricate statistical analysis of protocol and network information.
- Use the Print Utility to print the Summary Pane information or
selected frames within the Summary Pane along with their appropriate
headings. The Decode Pane information can optionally be included.
Help
- Comprehensive online help provides complete operating
instructions.
- Quick Start Guide enables rapid product set-up and
operation.
