The 4951B is compatible with the HP 4953A and 4955A
Protocols: X.25, SNA, X.21, DDCMP, HDLC, SDLC (NRZI), BSC, IPARS, and character asynchronous or synchronous protocols
Data codes: ASCII, EBCDIC, Baudot, Six Bit Transcode, IPARS, and EBCD
Capture memory: 32 KB Ram stores data characters, timing, and lead status information
Optional tape drive: 512 KB - store data, timing information, menu configurations
Lead status: The status of five control leads are stored for each interface—RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, and CD for RS-232C/V.24 and CS, RS, RR, TR, and DM for the RS-449 interface
Character framing: 5, 6, 7, or 8 information bits, plus parity. For asynchronous systems, select 1, 1.5, or 2 stop bits per character
Error checking: CRC-CCITT, CRC-16, CRC-12, CRC-6, LRC, and parity
Triggers: 63, consisting of characters, errors, interface lead transitions or timer values. Can be simultaneously active up to 19200 bits per second
Timers: Five, each with a maximum count of 65565 ms, resolution 1 ms
Keyboard: Full ASCII keyboard with six softkeys and cursor control
Display: 12.7 cm (5 inches) diagonal with 16 lines and 32 characters per line
Display formats: DTE data over DCE data, Data and Lead State, DTE data only, DCE data only, and Frame and Packet decode
Send strings: 255 characters per string maximum; 1750 characters total
Remote capability: Separate rear panel RS-232C/V.24 port or use the interface pod
Bit Error Rate Testing: Simultaneously measure bit errors, block errors, errored seconds, and percent error free seconds
Block size: 63, 511, 1000, or 2047 bits
Patterns: 63, 511, 2047 bit pseudo random sequence
Character framing: Select 5, 6, 7, or 8 bits per character and parity
Inject error function: Inject single errors or bursts of errors
The HP 4951B portable datacommunications protocol analyzer is used for monitoring and decoding data transmissions, simulating network components, performing bit error tests and remotely transferring data and programs through a separate RS-232C/V.24 port. External viewing is supported via a standard RS-170 video port.
