The
packet generator
allows any Ethernet frames to be injected
into the network. To allow this, all four analysis ports are available
and are independent of each other. As an alternative, the ports
can also be coupled together in pairs as sender/receiver to be
able to read in sent frames and to verify the read frames with the
sent frames.
The frames to be sent are transferred to the module as input in
the form of "pcap" files. These inputs can either be generated by
recording or can be created as new frames using the integrated
pcap editor.
Each port has its own menu for setting the relevant send options.
Among other things, the packets can be sent as follows:
•
Cyclically (with breaks)
•
As a fixed percentage of bus load
•
With a specified number of repetitions
•
For a specified time etc.
At the end of the action, all important parameters (bus load,
duration etc.) are output as statistics.
The packet generator only executes with the Bus Analyzer
without TAP.
All the modules listed above can also be remotely controlled by
a
script
. To allow this, each action taken by the user is logged in
the integrated script window. The log can be saved, edited and
transferred later to Bus Analyzer Scope when this is called. All
the instructions in the script are then executed. This allows auto-
mated test sequences, for example for setting up test automats.
The manual contains an overview of all the script commands that
can be used.
As an alternative, the script commands can also be transferred
using a remote interface (via TCP/IP) from another application to
Bus Analyzer Scope. When TCP is used as the transfer interface,
the application does not need to be located on the same
computer as Bus Analyzer Scope, only in the same network.
A sample program in C# ships with the product.
