10Gbps Ethernet Solutions (10-GbE)
Absolute Analysis Investigator™ test and verification solutions
featuring SFP+ include:
Investigator™ Protocol Analyzer
Features Easy-to-Use Drag & Drop GUI
The Investigator 10Gbps Ethernet Protocol Analyzer captures
and displays 100% of link data, even at full line rates.
Views of Sync with Data Valid (SWDV) and STOP/GO flow control
primitives, as well as frame delimiters, frame header and
payload data are provided. The Investigator Protocol Database
Editor allows you to define additional decoding of the frame
to enhance the existing functions. Deep, bit-level triggering
and pre- and post-filtering capabilities ensure that relevant
data can be extracted from multi-gigabit data streams.
Investigator™ Protocol Editor
Allows for Multiple Lane Support with Cross Lane Triggering
The 10Gbps Ethernet Protocol Editor from Investigator is
a point-to-point network allowing two devices to communicate
together using a user-defined protocol. The Investigator
Protocol Database Editor allows the Protocol Analyzer’s
standard database to be expanded to support protocols that
you define. Once part of the database, the protocol that
you’ve defined can be used as a filter or can trigger scenarios,
in addition to being fully decoded in the trace viewer.
Other features, such as post-capture filtering, are fully
available as if the protocol was part of the standard Investigator
Protocol Analyzer database.
Investigator™ Traffic Generator
100% Full Line Rate 10Gbps Traffic Test and Data Capture
Investigator’s Ethernet Traffic Generator allows you to
generate 10Gbps traffic into a Device Under Test (DUT) with
complete control over the timing and content of the data.
Valid and invalid traffic streams can be defined to test
device error recovery. The traffic generator’s ability to
maintain full line rate traffic, even across multiple links,
allows device performance to be measured and operation under
stress to be characterized.
Investigator™ Network Connections
Employs SFP+ Technology
The Absolute Analysis Investigator™ platform supports Small
Form Factor Pluggable + modules (SFP+) to allow you to easily
switch between these physical layers. Passive optical taps
are also available where the circumstances dictate that
the insertion of the test tool cannot disrupt the network
traffic (Protocol Analysis only.)
Performance Statistics
Unrivalled flexibility, power, and ease-of-use
A real time statistics module provides bookmarks, search,
and tabular or graphical displays to further enhance Investigator’s
reputation for ease of use in high-speed data capture, decode,
and analysis.
API Library
Write Custom Applications
The Absolute Analysis API Library is a ‘C’ API that provides
you with programmatic control over all the Investigator™
tools. Using the API Library, you can write custom applications
that function over the platform or create code for test
automation.
