Overview

Designed to ease the task of host integration with Rockwell Collins EPX Image Generators (IG's), IG Scanner allows users to visually inspect a host packet data stream as it travels between Simulation Host and IG. Supporting both host and IG traffic, IG Scanner separates each packet into its opcodes and headers and displays all the data visually in an easy to use tree format.

IG Scanner provides a powerful search tool to speed up the tracking down of problems and inspection of data. In addition to capturing packets directly off the wire, IG Scanner can read previously saved capture files from Tcpdump, Ethereal, and WireShark. IG Scanner can save hours of debugging time by displaying host traffic visually. All fixed-point data (eg: Scaled Distance-32, Scalar A-32, etc) is automatically converted and base-10 decimal values are displayed. No more searching through pages and pages of raw binary data to find the specific opcodes you are looking for.

IG Scanner can be installed on a host computer running Windows or Linux, or it can be installed directly on the EPX RT computer. When installed on the RT, it can be used to diagnose network topography issues, transport delay, packet loss, and other network-related problems.

Advanced Search

Probably the most useful feature of the IG Scanner is the advanced search. As shown below, the advanced search window allows the user to search for any opcode type matching user definable parameters. The example below shows a search for the opcode which binds motion system 4. The advanced search feature supports all standard and extended opcodes.

Core Features

• Supports all current EPX opcodes.
• Can also be used to support ESIG host interfaces.

• Easy inspection of raw data for any opcode.
• Automatic conversion of ESIG fixed-point types into decimal.
• Conversion of 36-bit angle fields.
• Opens captures saved by Ethereal, Wireshark, TCPDump, and WinDump.
• Can capture traffic directly off the wire.
• Identification of bad or invalid opcodes.
• Easy to use. Easy to find exact data you're looking for
