eXaminer

Embedded Software Group introduces the industry's first software only protocol analyzer, eXaminer, with capability to support any protocol including Internet, satellite, LAN/WAN, Ethernet, mobile etc. In addition, as protocol analyzer for Bluetooth 1.1, ESG offers Wireless eXaminer. Fully compliant with both Bluetooth IEEE802.11a and IEEE802.11b, the ESG Wireless eXaminer is part of the ESG development suite of tools which provide developers of embedded software with both a strategic and competitive advantage.

Developers of Bluetooth-enabled devices now have the ability to monitor, capture, decode, filter and display all Baseband packets within a wireless network. The ESG Wireless eXaminer can also isolate, decode and display higher-level protocol layers.

Modes of Operation

The ESG eXaminer operates in two main modes: Independent Mode and Enhanced Mode. In Independent Mode, the protocol analyzer intercepts the Baseband traffic and logs, decodes, analyzes and displays the packet data being transmitted and received within the network. In Enhanced Mode, the eXaminer is fully integrated with ESG's eXposé, an innovative Integrated Development Environment product. As a result, in Enhanced Mode it is also possible to inject errors and modify the data stream.

The ESG eXaminer works seamlessly with developers’ preferred system and debugging environment. Being a software-only solution, the ESG eXaminer is not dependent on external hardware and/or devices that can potentially introduce additional points of failure and increase the complexity of the debugging process.

Features:

• Fully compliant with the Bluetooth 1.1, IEEE802.11a and IEEE802.11b standards
• Isolates, decodes and displays Baseband, LMP, L2CAP, RFCOMM, OBEX, TCS and SDP commands including services attributes, events and data packets for visibility into higher protocol layers.
• Enables users, through data packet error generation, to inject errors into packets and stress test the boundary conditions of their designs.
• Allows users, through its advanced triggering and filtering capabilities, to capture, log and display only events or transactions of interest.
• Provides a free 'run analyzer' display that allows users to continuously monitor the latest session transactions and offers real-time screen updates.
• Offers direct logging to users' PC hard drives provides maximum log history file size, and ensuring the ability to monitor packet traffic long term.
• Captures and logs all Baseband packets transmitted within a wireless network, including re-transmitted packets, for full session transaction audits.
