Peryton-S is full-featured, single-channel 802-15.4/ZigBee network and protocol analysis tool that captures data from any channel within the 2.4Ghz band. Using the Peryton-S, you get a quick and complete picture of the RF environment and activity of your network or networks. You can view the network structure and members, easily identify erroneous or problematic messages, inspect message contents down to the bit level, and easily share scenarios of interest with colleagues, vendors, or customers. Data analysis is made simple with the following tools:

Time View Window The Time View window provides a unique two-dimensional view of transmitted messages in the network. This is a time-line view that provides easy understanding of transactions and other time-related processes. In a beacon network, this view shows message transmission times relative to the beacon gridline, verifying correct message timing. Messages can be sorted along the vertical axis by device ID, network (PAN) ID, or channel. Message View Window The Message View window allows you to dive into message fields down to the bit level. Fields content is shown numerically and textually, with hints showing the field name, description, and meaning of the current value. Data is displayed in an intuitive graphical structure allowing for the expansion or collapse of sub fields. These features greatly facilitate quick understanding, eliminating the need to refer to off-line documentation. Network View Window The Network View window shows the network topology and elements. Each device is drawn according to its type (e.g. coordinator, router, FFD) with hints showing all known information for the device. Links between devices and routes are clearly displayed. This view displays information on devices received by the analyzer as well as other devices detected from indirect messages sent by other devices, such as routes, coordinator assignments, neighbor lists, tunneling, etc.

Search and Capture Tool

The Search and Capture Tool provides a picture of current RF activity by performing passive channel noise measurements. Passive and active search is used to help locate 802.15.4/ZigBee networks and devices, and then choose the channel for recording.

Featured toolbox

The Featured Toolbox provides even deeper analysis of captured data, including charts summarizing properties of captured data, flexible data search tools, message compare utilities, and data export tools to allow further analysis with external tools such as Excel and Wireshark.
The full analyzer state ― including current view in each window, bookmarks, selected messages with their exact expended fields, message zoom status, and more ― can be easily saved and sent to other users for further inspection.
