Serial Related Features
Serial Protocol Decoders Included
- PPP, SLIP, and TCP/IP carried over PPP and/or SLIP.
- Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII.
- DNP3.
- Allen Bradley DF1/PCCC.
- Bristol Babcock BSAP.
High-Speed Support Included
- Supports analysis up to 921.6K bps.
- Requires Quatech PCMCIA (DSP-100 or DSP-200/300) or PCI
(DSC-100 or DSC-200/300) Serial Interface cards.
- Only supports Windows XP.
Spy
- Monitor asynchronous (async) serial data communication
traffic to/from PC's internal serial port or modem. This option provides a solution for
debugging and testing both internal UART communication components and communication
application software within a host PC.
- Host UART/serial port must use Microsoft's serial driver
(SERIAL.SYS or SERIAL.VXD).
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 Transmission
- Data strings and files can be transmitted one time, multiple
times, or continuously.
- Data transmission delays can be inserted in millisecond,
second, or minute increments.
- Control signals can be set on or off.
Data Displays
- Data can be analyzed in real-time using the 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 in either a split-line
DTE over DCE format, or in a mixed format.
- 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, control signals, errors, and patterns
(patterns include wildcard characters at the bit level, nibble level, and byte level);
- Frame Level: frame decodes can be searched on the text of
the decode, with or without wildcards.
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 DTE/Master/Host and DCE/Slave/RTU totals for
characters, bytes, frames/messages, events, errors, characters, and frames/messages per
second, percentage utilization and frame/message size distribution.
Control Signal Display
- Real-time breakout box includes timing diagrams and counters
for control and signal leads.
- Timing diagrams enable captured control signal transitions
to be viewed with respect to captured data bytes.
Data Transmission
- Data strings and files can be transmitted one time, multiple
times, or continuously.
- Data transmission delays can be inserted in millisecond,
second, or minute increments.
- Control signals can be set on or off.
Timestamping
- Provides both absolute and relative displays of event timing
for bytes and frames/messages.
- Calculates time intervals between events and 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.
