Multi-Antenna 802.15.4, ZigBee, RF4CE, 6LoWPAN
Protocol Analyzer |
The Peryton-D is full featured, single-channel 802-15.4, ZigBee, RF4CE,
6LoWPAN protocol and network analysis tool, capturing data from any
channel within the 2.4Ghz band. This analyzer provides superior
reliability through the unique use of antenna diversity
techniques ― reducing the number of packets lost due to
RF indoor multi-path propagation conditions or
interference from up to 15% to less than 0.1%.
Using the Peryton-D, the user can get a quick and complete
picture of the RF environment and activity of his network
or networks, easily identify erroneous or problematic
messages, inspect message contents down to the bit
level, and easily share scenarios of interest with
colleagues or outsiders. |
| 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 the user to dive into message fields down to the bit
level. Fields content is shown numerically and textually, with text and 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. Devices can be also drawn over a map or floor plan. 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 based 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 expanded fields, message zoom status, and
more can be easily saved and sent to other users for further inspection.

models, please consult the
