The application allows the user to configure:

Baud rate

50 to 256,000 bits per second

Bit order

LSB, MSB

Error check

None, LRC, CRC16

Character type

ASCII-8, ASCII-7, EBCDIC

Character framing

Async, Sync, Monosync, Bisync

Parity

Even, Odd, Ignore

Synchronization on

one or two characters

Transparent Characters

Drop Synchronization

Do not drop, Drop after n characters

Start and Stop error checking

Filters and Counters

The Async/BiSync (COP) application allows the user to set up filters and

counters for specific capture patterns, as seen in figure 26. This filters and

counters can be used to detect specific traffic conditions in the network.

Simulation

The user can simulate common network processes and devices. A simulation

script language interface helps the user to quickly create custom simulation

tests for the user’s unique measurement needs. A typical COP simulation is

depicted in figure 27.

Async/BiSync Protocol
Measurement

(continued)

A typical Async/BiSync Protocol Application is depicted in figure 25. The

application runs in Windows operating environment to show data in ASCII or

EBCDIC format, the lead states, time and date stamps and error conditions.

The software can be configured for a specific application through a configura-

tion menu, including the capability to define control and transparent charac-

ters, and set CRC and LCR error schemes. Filtering and triggering are

supported, as is a simulation script language.

This application shows data in ASCII or EBCDIC format so the user can see

the status of the physical line, utilization percentages, octets, throughput, and

error/data events.
