1394 and AS5643 Bus Analyzer - FireSpy810bN

FireStealth® FS810bN

DapTechnology’s FireStealth810bN with its non-intrusive bus monitoring technology is the world’s first “Stealth Mode” IEEE-1394b analyzer. The FireStealth IEEE-1394b analyzer is a bus monitoring device that is attached to the IEEE-1394b bus leaving the existing topology unaffected. The device does not participate in the bus configuration and thus, no topology reconfiguration and node ID reassignments occur. The FireStealth’s passive personality and non-intrusive behavior renders it invisible to all other devices on the IEEE-1394b bus. Also, it does not participate in any bus management activities such as root contention, cycle start generation & transmission arbitration.

The FireStealth is a small, compact instrument that is equipped with 1024MB internal memory. The unit offers extensive hardware filtering and trigger possibilities due to efficient programmable logic and an on-board processor. It supports up to 800Mb transfer rates. Two bilingual 1394b connectors allow for convenient connection to the system under test.

The FireStealth may be connected to a host computer via the USB2.0 interface. Furthermore, an Ethernet port allows for easy network integration and remote control. The graphical user interface runs on WindowsTM Operating Systems. It is intuitive and offers a user-friendly way of data presentation and user control. Additionally the included API even allows you to build your own control software using C/C++ or LabVIEWTM.

The FireStealth® uses an internal hardware architecture derived from the FireSpy® product line and therefore offers very similar functionality as well as user interfaces. Only the bus interface section is different and was replaced with a powerful data pickup logic. (click on picture to enlarge)

The FireStealth® requires a pass-through wiring. It needs to be connected between other devices on the bus and cannot be in a leaf node postion. (click on picture to enlarge)

FireDiagnostics Suite

The FireDiagnostics Suite is the most comprehensive collection of 1394 analysis, simulation and interface tools for a wide range of applications. Apart from well established and hardware assisted analyzer tools like Monitor, Recorder, Generator, Commander, Scriptor and Mil1394 Signal Monitor, the suite also offers a set of software tools designed to allow the integration of the FireSpy products in a wide variety of testing applications, as well as extend customization of its functionality beyond the baseline feature set provided by DapTechnology.

FireSuite API

The foundation for all software tools included in the FireDiagnostics Suite is formed by the Application Programming Interface (API). With its interfaces for a wide range of development environments using C/C++ or LabVIEWTM on WindowsTM Operating Systems, the application of FireSpy analyzers is extremely flexible. With its feature-rich function library, all hardware assisted analyzer tools like the Monitor and Recorder can be controlled as well as more low-level 1394 bus functions.

Protocol Support

A cornerstone of FireDiagnostics Suite functionality is the unparalleled level of support for high-level protocols. With IEEE-1394 being the basic data exchange mechanism application specific protocols for the PC & storage environment (IPv4, SBP2), consumer electronics (AV/C, HAVi), Automotive Infotainment (AMI-C), Industrial Imaging (IIDC) have been successfully deployed. In recent years AS5643 has been adopted for use within Aerospace and Defense and largely fueled the continuous growth of IEEE-1394.
