FireMatrix with FireTrac

FireMatrix_FT is an example of an integrated 1394 platform. In its simplest case it can function as an out-of-the-box 1394 Bus system without the need for external PCs, laptops etc. However, it can also be utilized as a platform to build large and integrated systems (simulation, ...) that are relying on the established FireTrac features and functionality. Higher-level applications can easily interface to the standardized OHCI feature sets.

Besides its well-proven FireTrac interface card solutions, DapTechnology can offer such out-of-the-box FireMatrix solutions. The FireMatrix in general is comprised of a portable PC platform hosting a flexible number of 1394 FireTrac interface. Limited only by the number of available PCI slots, the FireMatrix is a truly scalable system with regards to the number of 1394 buses. As an added feature the FireMatrix also offers support for IRIG-B time stamping.

The following FireTrac cards can be used within the FireMatrix platform:

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.
