IoT Europe 2015 – Perytons was there!
Typical customers use the Perytons Protocol Analyzers for analysis of a single protocol type per PC and then the application installation and setup is straight forward.
When looking to analyze different protocol environments in a single PC the following process is required (the following example shows setting up the environment of an analyzer for 802.15.4/ZigBee and also Bluetooth Smart in the same PC (obviously you need to have a relevant Activation code that allows using both 802.15.4/ZigBee and Bluetooth Smart in the named PC). When installing a different combination of Perytons analyzers – e.g. 802.15.4/ZigBee and PLC or triple 802.15.4/ZigBee, Bluetooth Smart and PLC – the process described here should be performed for the additional Perytons Protocol Analyzers installations accordingly and may result in 3 separate working folders if applicable – see following):
1 – Install one of the first of the Perytons Analyzers application – say the Perytons Protocol analyzer for 802.15.4/ZigBee – by running the relevant executable file.
2 – The installation will create the relevant applicationfolders under the Programs Files (x86) Windows folder: ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Perytons\Perytons Protocol Analyzer’, where the Perytons 802.15.4/ZigBee application executable resides (called ProtocolAnalyzer.exe)
3 – Copy the whole ‘..\Program Files (x86)\Perytons’ folder to a new folder and rename it to be recognizable for 802.15.4/ZigBee usage – e.g. rename the Perytons in the copied folder to Perytons802-15-4 – it can be useful to create a shortcut to the executable (ProtocolAnalyzer.exe ) in this copied folder that can be placed in your Desktop (after this step you’ll have 2 Perytons Protocol Analyzer folders: 1) ‘..\Program Files (x86)\Perytons’ and 2) ..\Program Files (x86)\Perytons802-15-4′
4 – Uninstall your Perytons analyzer application by using the windows Programs Uninstall service (this will remove the ‘..\Program Files (x86)\Perytons’ (the ‘..\Program Files (x86)\Perytons802-15-4’ folder still exist)
5 – Now you need to install your Perytons Smart Analyzer by running the relevant executable file – this will create (again) relevant folders under your Program Files (x86) – namely ‘..\Program Files (x86)\Perytons\Perytons BLE Protocol Analyzer’, where the Peryton-Smart application executable resides (called ProtocolAnalyzer.exe)
5 – Copy the whole ‘../Program Files (x86)\Perytons’ folder to a new folder and rename it to be recognizable for Bluetooth Smart usage – e.g. rename the Perytons in the copied folder to PerytonsBlueToothSmart (so you’ll have a folder called after this step you’ll have 2 Perytons Protocol Analyzer folders: 1) ‘..\Program Files (x86)\Perytons’ and 2) ..\Program Files (x86)\PerytonsBlueToothSmart’– it can be useful to create a shortcut that runs the Perytons Smart analyzer to the executable (ProtocolAnalyzer.exe ) in this copied folder that can be placed in your Desktop
At the end of this process you should have in your programs folder 3 Perytons related folders:
‘../Programs Files (x86)/ Perytons802-15-4’
‘../Programs Files (x86)/ PerytonsBlueToothSmart’
‘../Programs Files (x86)/ Perytons’ – (this ‘../Programs Files (x86)/ Perytons’ folder holds files related to the latest installation you performed i.e. in this example the Perytons Analyzer for Bluetooth Smart).
You should be able to run each of the analyzers by just running the relevant ../../../ProtocolAnalyzer.exe file within each of the a.m. folders (or from the shortcut you created…).
Notes:
When running 802.15.4 analyzer and then Bluetooth Smart (or vice versa) a relevant change of plugin notification may appear to remind the user that a different analyzer protocol plugin was loaded. When capturing files of both 802.15.4 and Bluetooth Smart in parallel, it is highly suggested to set different capture file names in order to avoid file name collision (although the 802.15.4/ZigBee files have extension .anl and the Bluetooth smart ones .anlb…)
