The Frontline hardware interfaces with your computer that is running our robust software engine called the
ComProbe Protocol Analysis System or Frontline software. Whether you are sniffing the air or connecting directly
to the chip Frontline analyzers use the same powerful Frontline software to help you test, troubleshoot, and
debug communications faster.
Frontline software is an easy to use and powerful protocol analysis platform. Simply use the appropriate Frontline
hardware or write your own proprietary code to pump communication streams directly into the Frontline
software where they are decoded, decrypted, and analyzed. Within the Frontline software you see packets,
frames, events, coexistence, binary, hex, radix, statistics, errors, and much more.
This manual is a user guide that takes you from connecting and setting up the hardware through all of the
Frontline software functions for your Frontline hardware. Should you have any questions contact the Frontline
Technical Support Team.
