Compact protocol analyzer "LE-1500" is the stand-alone model at low price designed for Async communications. It can transmit/receive data at exact timing. On the other hand, RS-232C software analyzers cannot have the time stamp and idle time precisely.
LE-1500 is equipped with sufficient measuring functions, such as simulation and BERT function. Furthermore, it supports UART and current loop communication with optional kits.
Downsize, High performance
Compact protocol analyzer "LE-1500" is the succession model of LE-1100/LE-1200. The monitor function can analyze full/half duplex data at real time up to 500Kbps. It realizes great downsize and light weight compared to the conventional model. (LE-1200)

The auto save function makes it possible to continuously save up to 8Gbyte. It automatically saves the content of the capture memory on a high capacity compact flash (CF) card. And it continuously saves data into the measurement log of a user-specified file size, using ring recording as long as the card has space. In addition, it is useful for identifying communication failures which occur at rare intervals.

Logic Analyzer Analysis And Signal Voltage Measurement
Communication line timing is analyzed and displayed as a logic analyzer display to a time resolution of max. 50ns. The new function of signal voltage measurement ensures ease of the voltage measurement of RS-232C signals in places where tester probes cannot reach smoothly.

PC Link
The LE-PC300G supports serial connections through the COM port, USB connections, and LAN connections via LINEEYE SI-60 converter, thus enabling remote measurement by multiple analyzers connected at the same time. It also allows you to browse measurement data saved in memory card and convert data. |
*1 The PC Link software is not provided with a USB cable. Prepare a USB cable if you intend to use USB connection. The LE2-8V AUX cable provided to the analyzer is available in the case of serial connection.
*2 An interface to read the CF card is required on the PC side. |
 |
*1 SI-60 is a LAN-serial converter supported by LE-PC300G. Target analyzer is identified by specifying IP address of SI-60 on the remote setting window of LE-PC300G.
*2 optional AUX cable for DSUB 25-pin(LE2-8C). Set the DTE/DCE switch of SI-60 to DTE. |
Online RS-232C/RS-422/RS-485 Monitor
The online monitor function, like a sniffer, records telegrams in the capture memory and provides an easy-to-understand display for the type of protocol, without affecting the communications line. The analyzer records not only communications data but the time (time stamp) of transmissions and receptions as well as idle time. Therefore, failure time and timeout status can be checked.
The trigger function detects the specific conditions and you can select bit transfer sequence and polarity, depending on the test.

Time Stamp Measurement
Record the data and the time of transmission / reception for data frames. ASYNC cannot recognize the length of frame. Thus, our analyzers decide the frame end when it finds the specific character, or when it passes the specific time of being non-communication. Time stamp will be displayed in above 2 situations.
Non-communication state which works as the frame end detection time of ASYNC and Burst communications can be set from 1 to 100ms.
Idle Time Measurement
The amount of idle time between communications frames can be measured.
Trigger Function
The trigger feature allows you to specify a communications event as the trigger condition and have measurement operations executed automatically when that condition is specified. Up to four pairs of conditions and operations can be set, which is helpful towards identifying frequent intermittent faults that occurs with communications systems. And, the operation of a trigger condition can be specified as the condition for another trigger, making it possible to analyze complicated operations based on sequential trigger.

Monitor Condition Auto Setting
The analyzers can analyze communications data and automatically set basic measuring conditions, such as communications speed, character framing, data code, synchronization character, BCC/FCS, etc. This is effective for monitoring lines of unknown communications conditions.

Delay Time Measurement
A feature to measure the voltage of four RS-232C signal lines has been added to the conventional delay time function used to analyze the delay time of control line changes (e.g., RTS to CTS changes) at a resolution of 0.1ms.
Simulations
| With the simulation feature, the the analyzer acts as the counterpart to the target device and performs transmission and reception tests according to protocol. Even in the early stages of development when matching devices are not available, tests can be run at near to actual operating status. MANUAL mode checks the communications protocol step by step. Communications speed can be freely set. Therefore, margins can be evaluated by intentionally shifting communications speed, and error response processing can be checked using test data that mixes in data with parity errors.
| Example of connection
|
MANUAL Mode
The manual mode allows you to send the data registered in the transmission table which corresponds to the "0" to the "F" keys. The data can be set with one press of a key. While checking replies from a unit under development with the monitoring feature, you can easily and simply test the communications process. You can also send fixed data by registering it under a key combination of the SHIFT and "0" to "D" keys, as well as turn RTS/CTS and DTR/DCD signal lines on/off with the SHIFT and "E"/"F" key combinations.
FLOW
Flow control can be simulated on the transmission and reception-lines using X-on/off flow control or the control line handshake. In the transmission mode, up to 16 cycles of data from transmission start until a generated interrupt request can be displayed. In the reception mode, you can set the number of received data cycles until a transmission interrupt request is generated, as well as the time until the transmission resume request is generated.
ECHO Mode
In the echo mode, the analyzer internally return received data. Buffer echo to send back data by a reception frame, character echo to send back data by a character and loop back echo that simply loops back data can be selected. It is used to test display terminals and communications terminals.
BERT(Bit Error Rate Test)
BERT support enables you to measure transmission quality of communications lines by a loop-back or interactive connection. It is possible to measure evaluation parameters (bit error count, block error count) conforming to ITU-T G.821 Notification, hence enabling bit error rate evaluations and fault point identification. Elaborate test patterns and functions such as bit error forced interrupt are comparable to dedicated equipment.
< BERT setting display > Evaluation is possible in ASYNC mode, by specifying measurement period (continuous, number of received bits, duration, repeating) or test pattern. <BERT measurement display>  Once the measurement is started, the results of measured line quality are displayed and updated in real time. Furthermore, repeat mode measures the bit error rate for a specified period of time for the communication line. |

Using "DON'T CARE (*)," you can search for time stamp data from 10:30:00 to 10:39:59 as in this example. |
PC Compatible File Management Specification
Test conditions and results such as measured data can be saved on optional CF cards in the file management format compatible with your PC. Of course, files can be interchangeably used between models. Therefore, measurement data can be saved on-site with LE-1500, and analyzed or manipulated in greater detail using LE-3500 back in the office.
Part of files or data saved in higher hierarchy models or new models, however, may not be available in lower hierarchy models or conventional models.
Types, names, sizes and the data/time of files saved in the memory card can be checked.
| File type | Measurement data (.DT), Trigger save data (TG SAVEnn. DT), Auto save data (#nnnnnnn. DDT), Measurement Conditions (.SU), Transmission data for simulation (.ST), Simulation Program (.SP) |
|---|---|
| File operation | Displaying normal file or designated type of files, Save, Load, Deletion, Format |
When many files have been saved, the file filter feature allows you to specify the type of file to be displayed.
