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 users 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.
