The tool uses 2 softwares:
-
The SoundWire Protocol Analyzer & Traffic Generator. The present user manual is dedicated to
this piece of software.
-
The script editor (named ScriptBuilder) to generate XML scripts to be used by the Traffic
Generator. ScriptBuilder also provide a very powerful capture post processing tool. Refer to
the ScriptBuilder user manual for detailed explanation on the XML scripting tags.
2.2. Launching the Protocol Analyzer
Make sure that the license key is plugged on a USB port of the host PC.
Launch the analyzer application.
As soon as the application is running, it will search for the hardware unit and configure it.
As long as the hardware unit has not been detected and configured by the PC, its display will show
a standby message asking for PC connection.
The HW status can be seen in the status bar at the bottom of the window. The hardware functions
(like record and play) are greyed out if the hardware is not available.
