ENET
Data Layer Decode
Key Features
•
Ethernet Data Layer Decode for
10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX
•
Color-coded decode highlights
key elements of Ethernet
packet such as address or error
information
•
Decoded information is
intuitively overlaid directly on
top of the waveform
•
Decode information expands
as the timebase is adjusted or
zoomed
•
Convenient table display with
quick “zoom to message”
capability
•
Quick search capability for
specific Ethernet frames
Decode Annotation
Complements Physical
Layer Views
The Ethernet 10BASE-T and
100BASE-TX protocol information is
decoded and displayed on the physical
layer waveform. Various sections
of the protocol, such as Destination
and Source Address or CRC Errors,
are color-coded to make it easy to
understand. Decode annotation
information condenses or expands
depending on the timebase/zoom
ratio setting. The decode operation
is fast—even with long acquisitions.
Data transferred in a frame is not only
displayed on the frame level but also
on individual byte level. Look at the
big picture while focusing on details
at the same time.
Decode annotation provides the
ability to view protocol traffic on the
oscilloscope and verify that the link
is alive and transmitting properly
as it quickly decodes waveform
data instantaneously. It also aids in
debugging problems that are not
solely analog or digital in nature, such
as interoperability issues, uncertain
error causes, and physical layer issues
not evident with a protocol analyzer.
Convenient Table Display
and Search
Long oscilloscope acquisition memory
provides long capture times of
Ethernet transmissions. Decoded
information is conveniently shown in
an interactive table, any table entry
can be selected for a closer look. The
search capabilities help identify and
isolate protocol specifics such as CRC
errors, data size errors and more. In
addition, table data may be exported
as .csv files for offline analysis.
Support on Multiple
Oscilloscope Platforms
The Ethernet 10BASE-T and
100BASE-TX decode option is
available on a wide range of
oscilloscope models with real-time
bandwidths from 200 MHz to 65 GHz.
Ethernet decoding provides protocol awareness to the oscilloscope for fast debugging.
