Bluetooth™ BusEngine
CATC’s BusEngine™ Technology is at the heart of the new Merlin
Analyzer. The revolutionary BusEngine core uses state-of-the-art EPLD
technology and incorporates both the real-time recording engine and the
configureable building blocks that implement data/state/error detection,
triggering, capture filtering, external signal monitoring and event counting
& sequencing. And like the flash-memory-based firmware that controls its
operation, all BusEngine logic is fully field upgradeable, using
configuration files that can be downloaded from the CATC Website.
