NTOnTrack TRDP Analyzer
Network protocol analyzer for TRDP
Analyzing network traffic
NTOnTrack Analyzer, the protocol analysis tool for TRDP and other Ethernet protocols, is focused on train manufacturers, component suppliers and testing facilities that want to efficiently develop and/or test TRDP based systems. With its highly performant hardware, minimal invasive in-line capturing of Ethernet frames up to 1000 Mbit/s becomes possible in tap-mode. So, each network segment of your train can easily be analyzed. In single mode, traffic can be logged on two different ports.
The system captures and monitors TRDP telegrams and offers many functions for testing, filtering, sorting, evaluation and visualization of TRDP datasets. A scripting tool including a dialog engine and GUI panels offers the possibility to evaluate the content of arbitrary TRDP fields and to develop user-defined visualization and controls accessing e.g. dissectioned datasets. All this useful functionalities are combined in the PBA.pro Software module.
