The SAM series instruments (Sampling, Acquisition and Measurement) are an ideal solution for applications that require to monitor and check serial lines, by centralizing the measurement on a remote station of a network.

Main features of the SAM instrument, that make it unique, are the capabilities to acquire and analyze data from asynchronous or synchronous serial lines, where data are formatted with protocols such as Aircat500, CD2, Asterix and HDLC (making the instrument fully compliant with radar systems). The instrument can be expanded with additional specific protocols upon request.

> Multi-drop monitoring of synchronous and/or asynchronous serial lines.
> Real time monitoring of serial line, in raw mode or data packets mode.
> Advanced data tester function, operating with different ATC specific protocols.
> Serial-to-Ethernet Bridge feature, sending pay-load of valid packets on LAN network.
> Protocols:
AIRCAT 500
CD2
Asterix
HDLC
> Fully user-configurable
> Capability to co-operate with other SAM instruments (site monitoring) and to record collected data for deferred analysis.
> Link to proprietary software (DataView) for monitoring and data analysis on a centralized station.
