    • Supports Protocol Analyzer, Traffic Generator and Performance Statistics
    • Compatible with RP1, RP2, RP3, and RP3-01 OBSAI links
    • 1.536, 3.072, and 6.144 Gbps link speeds
    • Up to 32 time-synchronized ports
    • Lossless 100% line rate data capture
    • Supports air interface standards GSM/EDGE, WDCMA/LTE, and 802.16d-e
    • Real time traffic generation of OBSAI packets
    • Validate user data (IQ) and control data
    • Multiple chassis configurations, including portable, rack mount, and ruggedized
    Bypass and Traffic Generation Modes

    Investigator™ monitors OBSAI link traffic in different modes
    Bypass Mode: Investigator connects inline and monitors traffic real time. A maximum 16 full duplex OBSAI links can be supported in this mode.

    Traffic Generation Mode: Investigator is used as an end-point device. A maximum 32 OBSAI end points can be supported .

    Monitor Multiple Points

    The capacity of Investigator is 16 link pairs. This gives the tool the capability of monitoring multiple points simultaneously, and view the results with full time correlation.
    This capability is not limited to a single protocol. Multiple types of protocols can also be monitored to check data passing through multiple protocol domains.

    Monitor Errors Real-Time

    Investigator™ captures data at full line rate. Couple this with its advanced triggering and filtering, allows users to monitor for conditions and errors in real-time. This not only saves time to find the problem, but also helps designers quickly find which device is misbehaving. This proprietary filtering and triggering is unique to the industry, and has the power to reduce your debug time in half or more.

    Find and Debug Errors Fast

    Investigator software provides exceptional functionality to find and debug errors fast. The software can constantly monitor data on the line, and only capture events necessary for your debug. This both saves time as well as precious capture data, insuring you will capture only the required conditions that caused the problem.

    • Alarms: Build and save custom trigger, filter and capture configurations to server for later use, or use as part of a formal test procedure
    • Advanced triggering: Start capturing data only when specific conditions are met
    • Powerful filtering: Sift through trace data fast, and filter out all conditions except the ones you are looking for
    • Search facilities: Find any data pattern within any packet or control symbol, and maintain a library of predefined search patterns
    • Bookmarks: Set bookmarks for reference in later debugging
