Protocol Analyzer Manual

The protocol Analyzer Tool is intended to help analyzing and decoding slow pulse based protocols such as IR-remote protocols and RF lamp switch protocols. The Analyzer has protocol decoders for a number of standard protocols and can decode the parameters from them. It can also help analyzing the signals of unknown protocols and help in building decoders for new protocols.

Main Window

Below is the main window of the Protocol Analyzer:

 Analyzer main window

1Tool Bar
2Received signal list. Received samples and decoded messages are presented here. The Time column is the time the message was received. Protocol column specifies the name of the protocol of the received message. Command and Address columns refer to the protocol content. Repeat column specifies if the number of times the message has been repeated
3A decoded protocol message of the JVC-protocol. Note that the JVC decoder must be active to receive this protocol. Double click this line to see details of the received message.
4A raw sample. This actually refers to the same message as above, but is the undecoded signal. Note that the Raw-decoder must be active and view→Raw must be active to view this. Double click on these line to see the actual signal
5Source indicator. A microphone when Audio is chosen and a USB-stick when CUL is selected
6Scanning status. Scanning or Paused. Scanning may be paused with the Stop Scanning-button or because of problems opening the scanning device
7Signal level. This is only valid for audio scanning. The bar should reach the green part on the left of the scale when a signal is received

1Load a session of sampled signals
2Save the current session of sampled signals
3Save the current session of sampled signals under a new name
4Remove the selected row/signal
5Remove all rows/signals in the current session
6Edit the export template
7Export the current decoded signals according to the specified template
8Open the settings window
9Start scanning
10Stop scanning
11Force sampling of current signal. Only valid for audio source

Decoders Window

The Decoders Management Window is opened from the menu view→decoders: Decoders Window Here you specify which decoders should be active when receiving signals. Multiple (or all) decoders may be active simultaneously. Note that in order to see the raw (undecoded) samples, both the raw-decoder must be active and the menu item view→Raw must be active.
