The X-COM Systems NTDS Protocol Analyzer System reaches a new level of protocol analysis capability by providing insight into protocol, error, timing, and waveform analysis. The system includes an X-COM NTDS Type E Protocol Interface Module, a Tektronix TLA5000 Series Logic Analyzer, two TLA P6434 Probes, and custom disassembler software.
Integrated together, these analysis tools quickly and easily let system engineers, sofware developers and technicians monitor and capture NTDS serial (MIL-STD-1397C Type E) traffic between two NTDS devices while retaining full signal integrity without interrupting the data path.
Features
-
Professional Grade - X-COM's interface design and custom software enable customers to take advantage of all the proven test and measurement capabilities of Tektronix analyzers or oscilloscopes.
-
User-Defined Triggering - Triggering can be set to occur by timing, data, event, sequence, fault, transition, or other custom defined options.
-
Easy-to-Use - Custom designed software provides a highly detailed menu-driven user interface.
-
Ethernet-Ready Analyzer - Optional Ethernet Analyzer upgrade available.
-
Real-Time Acquisition - Data can be captured and triggered in real-time at an industry-leading 125ps resolution. Realtime acquisition is up to eight times faster than most systems currently available.
-
Transparent - Preserves the original signal path's integrity without introducing latency or signal loss regardless of whether the Protocol Interface Module is powered on or off.
-
Flexible Data Management - Captured data can be viewed, exported, printed, compared to previously collected data, or stored for later use.
|
The NTDS Protocol Analyzer System connects to an NTDS channel, between two NTDS devices, allowing for real-time data analysis and/or capture. The device allows network operators and test managers to conveniently monitor and troubleshoot NTDS traffic in order to:
|
-
Analyze hardware and software issues
-
Evaluate timing
-
Verify if protocol complies with requirements
-
Optimize code
-
Monitor peak load effects on system performance
More than just a common PC-based protocol analyzer, the NTDS Protocol Analyzer System is a professional-grade analysis tool that provides the most accurate and complete window into the signal makeup of NTDS communications.
