External PCIe 4x Connector
The FireSpy must be connected to the computer using this connector. A PCIe 4x cable, which is part of
the FireSpy-package, is connected between this connector and the PCI Express External Adapter card
installed in the computer.
Power Connector
Connect only the original power supply to this connector.
Auxiliary Connector
The auxiliary port will be discussed in a separate chapter. See
Auxiliary connector ports .
Power Switch
Using this switch the FireSpy can be switched on (powered) and off. When turned on, the FPGA is
configured from flash. This takes +/- 1 second.
Serial Number (on the bottom)
Each FireSpy has an 11 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.
24.6. Basic 1394 Analyzer Series
With their initial releases in 2000 and 2003 the FireSpy400 and FireSpy800 have defined new standards
for 1394 data analysis. Their unmatched feature set and the outstanding price/performance ratio of the
FireSpys have made them the most commonly used 1394 data analyzers in the marketplace.
The FireSpy800 data and protocol analyzer has gained tremendous market reputation in Aerospace &
Defense, Consumer Electronics, Industrial Control and many other markets.
The FireSpy800 has defined an industry standard for 1394 data analysis and DapTechnology is fully
committed to providing continued improvements and enhancements to its feature set and functionality.
The FireSpy800 is a small, compact instrument that is equipped with 256 MB internal memory. The unit
offers extensive hardware filtering and trigger possibilities due to efficient programmable logic and an
on-board processor. It supports up to 800Mb transfer rate and is fully IEEE 1394b compliant. Two bilingual
1394b ports allow for conveniently connecting to the particular system under test.
The FireSpy800 may be connected to a host computer via the USB interface. The graphical user interface
runs on Windows™ XP and Windows™ 7. It is intuitive and offers a user-friendly user interface.
Additionally, the included FireSpy API allows you to build your own control software by using its interfaces
to several programming languages like C++, LabVIEWTM and LabWindowsTM. The seamless integration
of the SAE AS5643 protocol makes the FireSpy800 the preferred tool for many Aerospace & Defense
development tasks. DapTechnology has taken considerable efforts to fully support the SAE AS5643
protocol in all major functional areas of the FireSpy800 and continuously updates the analyzer
functionality according to implementation requirements and ongoing tandardization efforts.
