Features

Analyzer

• Displays UWB and Wireless USB protocols in an easy-to-use hierarchical view
• Non-intrusively captures traffic from any MB-OFDM UWB link
• Automatically determines the speed of each frame and decodes it accordingly
• Displays traffic in real time with no need to set up complex triggers
• Records traffic to the hard disk for virtually unlimited recording time
• Highlights protocol errors and interoperability issues
• Efficiently decodes all standard requests and data structures
• Groups similar packets and hides redundant fields to reduce information burden
• Deciphers encrypted data payload
• Supports the latest WiMedia and Wireless USB specifications
• Free viewer software to exchange recorded traffic with others
• Free lifetime software maintenance

Generator

• Generates arbitrary frames with full control on the data content down to the PHY layer
• Emulates most WiMedia UWB equipment, including Wireless USB hosts and devices
• Generates erroneous frames to investigate error recovery mechanisms
• Programmable inter-frame delay with a precision of 15 ns
• TX power control through a dedicated instruction
• Graphical software for creating and editing scripts
• Interactive debugging with breakpoints and step-by-step execution capability
• Code snippets templates speed up repetitive tasks
• Direct script exportation from protocol analysis software
• Command line interface for automated testing
• Free lifetime software maintenance
