Sensor Network Analyzer from Daintree Status: ACTIVE

Product Information

Description

More than a sniffer, the Sensor Network Analyzer (SNA) from Daintree Networks is a comprehensive tool for testing, analyzing and troubleshooting wireless embedded networks. A powerful protocol decoder and unique visualization capabilities allow you to view all network devices and interactions simultaneously. Intuitive tools make it easy to perform complex functions such as multi-node and multi-channel capture. Active analysis capabilities provide tools for the commissioning, monitoring and maintenance of ZigBee networks.

The SNA is compatible with a number of TI development kits and boards, and supports most popular standards-based and proprietary wireless embedded protocols including ZigBee, ZigBee RF4CE (RemoTI), SimpliciTI and 6LoWPAN

Highlights

• Visualize and understand 802.15.4-based network and device behavior with system-level network analysis.
• Analyze and debug associated protocols with detailed packet analysis.
• Obtain measurements on network, device and route performance.
• Support for TI-specific features including location engine and over-the-air downloads.
• Cross-reference information by using context filters to quickly obtain a filtered packet list by selecting similar packets or objects from visual displays.
• Analyze new or custom ZigBee application profiles with XML-based SoftProfiles™ and API.
• Decode multiple network protocols including ZigBee, ZigBee RF4CE (RemoTI), SimpliciTI and 6LoWPAN using the SNA's XML-based flexible decode engine. Create and add new protocol decode definitions.
• Monitor live networks and record operation for future review (with playback controls including pause, fast forward and breakpoints). Use to test development, verify commissioning and manage deployed networks.
• Suitable for all size networks: from small to very large.
• Powerful and intuitive standards-based ZigBee commissioning providing over-the-air configuration and integration with the SNA’s rich visualization and monitoring capabilities.
