The WiMedia Explorer 300 Generator is the world's first frame generator for WiMedia Ultrawideband and Certified Wireless USB protocols. It helps verify product and component reliability by generating reproducible traffic, timing and error scenarios.

Containing a specialized processor designed specifically for WiMedia-based and Certified Wireless USB protocols, the WiMedia Explorer 300 Generator produces sequences of arbitrary frames with programmable inter-frame delay, and can then wait for any kind of response frame or event. The processor's instruction set enables you to emulate Wireless USB hosts and devices as well as various WiMedia equipments. Integrated with Ellisys' leading Ultrawideband and Wireless USB protocol analysis software, you can reproduce previously-recorded scenarios, or modify them for testing corner cases and recovery mechanisms.

Based on the same proven hardware as the Ellisys WiMedia Explorer 300 Analyzer, the WiMedia Explorer 300 Generator provides a powerful new test methodology to maximize the quality of your protocol implementation and surpass your Ultrawideband R&D challenges.

New! Ellisys announces automated WiMedia Precompliance Test Solution
The Ellisys WiMedia Precompliance Test Solution automatically executes a comprehensive set of test scripts that implements the entire suite of test scenarios defined in the new WiMedia Platform Test Specification version 1.1. The test solution interacts with a device under test, captures all traffic exchanged with the device to a file, analyzes the traffic to verify compliance behavior, and generates a compliance report. Any detected issues can then be easily debugged using the capture file and the included WiMedia protocol analysis software. More »

Powerful integration with protocol analyzer

Protocol analyzers are very efficient at finding errors. Once identified, these errors can be reproduced by a generator. Traces previously recorded by an Ellisys WiMedia Explorer 300 Analyzer can be exported to a script and played back by the generator. You will then be able to quickly understand and fix the issue.

Hardware

Wireless USB Host Emulation The figure below shows a typical setup for emulating a Wireless USB host. A generator script is exported from a trace previously recorded by an Ellisys protocol analyzer and can be modified to include errors. You can also create a script from scratch for total control. The data generator will execute the specified scenario, and the Device Under Test will react as if the original host was transmitting the data. This setup is very useful for testing corner cases and error recovery behavior of the Device Under Test.

Wireless USB Device Emulation The figure below shows a typical setup for emulating a Wireless USB device. A Wireless USB device transmits frames at a precise time defined by the host, and provides the requested data. Ellisys' WiMedia specialized processor contains specific instructions to wait for Device Transmit and Device Notification Time Slots. The generator executes the script, and the Host Under Test receives data as if a real device was answering its requests. This setup is useful for testing protocol stacks and helping in host driver development.
