TraceInspector

FAST AND PRECISE TRACE VALIDATION

TraceInspector provides precise insights into CAN and Ethernet TSN behavior, enabling early detection of timing deviations and verification of conformance to design-time specifications.

TraceInspector

FAST AND PRECISE TRACE VALIDATION

TraceInspector delivers precise visibility into CAN and Ethernet behavior, enabling early detection of timing deviations and alignment with design-time expectations.

Automate network trace analysis, detect deviations, and ensure system robustness.

As embedded networks grow in complexity, understanding their actual behavior becomes essential.

TraceInspector is a complementary tool to Wireshark, providing engineers with trace-based evidence for CAN and Ethernet TSN traffic and checking timing and scheduling against design-time specifications.

TraceInspector makes it possible to detect misbehaving senders or network devices early and to catch issues as software and network configurations evolve during integration.

Verification & Integration Benefits

Ensure Compliance (OEMs & Suppliers)

Provide trace-backed evidence that each sender node conforms to its defined traffic profile (period, frame size, burstiness).

Reduce Integration Risks (OEMs)

Validate observed system behavior against specifications, quantifying the impact of deviations through simulation.

DERIVE MEASURED TRAFFIC CHARACTERISTICS

Extract traffic profiles from traces to refine design-time assumptions based on actual network behavior.

Secure your integration. Validate your design. Fix issues fast.

Reduce uncertainty before integration begins

Compare observed network behavior against design assumptions and specifications to identify deviations early.

Inspect traces at a glance to validate timing behavior and spot anomalies.

Demonstrate compliance, continuously and reliably

Provide trace-based evidence that sending nodes meet timing and communication requirements.

Understand issues. Resolve fast.

Quickly identify message loss and timing deviations with precise trace inspection.
