The FireSpy must be connected to the computer using this connector. A USB cable, which is part of the
FireSpy-package, is connected between this connector and the USB port of the computer.
The USB interface is electrically isolated from the IEEE1394b logic to prevent ground loops.
serial number
Each FireSpy has a 5 character serial number. This number is also programmed into the FireSpy and can
be read with the License Manager of the FireSpy application. Part of the software will only work when
license keys are installed for the serial number of the currently connected FireSpy. See
License Manager
for more information on license keys.
24.2.3. FireSpy 450b(T)(1) / 850
The FireSpy850 and FireSpy450b bus analyzers complete the second generation of FireWire analyzers
offered by Dap-Technology. Based on the industry leading FireSpy800, the all new and enhanced
architecture of the FireSpy810, as well as the form factor advantages introduced with the FireSpy3850,
make these two new PCI form factor analyzer cards the most compelling package for card-based 1394
analysis solutions found in the industry.
The PCI format takes flexibility to a higher level. This solution enables users to install the FireSpy
hardware in any PC that has at least one PCI slot available. This allows for installation of the FireSpy
Analyzer in developers’ existing PC’s, rugged field service laptop or lunchbox computer.
Both the FireSpy850 and FireSpy450b are equipped with 1 GB of on-board memory. The units offer
extensive hardware filtering and trigger possibilities due to efficient programmable logic and an on-board
processor. They support up to 800Mb (400Mb for the FS450b(T), 200Mb for the FS450bT1) transfer rate
and are fully IEEE 1394b compliant. Three bilingual or Beta 1394 ports (depending on model) allow for
convenient connection to the system under test. As an added feature the FS450b uses dip-switches to
conveniently allow the changing of PHY port speed/mode settings.
The graphical user interface runs on Windows™ XP and Windows™ 7. It is intuitive and offers a user-
friendly way of data presentation and user control. Additionally the included API even allows you to build
your own control software or interface to LabViewTM. The seamless integration of the SAE AS5643
protocol makes the FireSpy850 or the FS450b an ideal tool for many Aerospace & Defense development
tasks. For long distance applications DapTechnology also offers the FS450b in an impedance matching
transformer configuration, i.e. the FireSpy model FS450bT(1).
