Our Products
The ILaS Sniffer is a compact, high-performance device designed for precise, non-intrusive analysis of ILaS (ISELED Light and Sensor) communication and 10BASE-T1S Ethernet in automotive networks.
CM ILaS Sniffer
Early Access Product
The ILaS Sniffer is a specialized capture module for monitoring and analyzing ILaS (ISELED Light and Sensor) network traffic, along with one 10BASE-T1S Ethernet link. It is designed to tap into live automotive communication networks without disrupting their topology, allowing simultaneous capture of up to four ILaS links and one 10BASE-T1S line. By timestamping all captured data and encapsulating it using the open TECMP logging protocol, it ensures a detailed and accurate trace of network behavior.
Standardized logging protocol
Captured traffic is encapsulated in Ethernet frames with a TECMP header, which includes critical metadata such as source hardware timestamp, interface ID, counters, and more. This standardization enables consistent interpretation and integration with existing analysis tools.
Scalable setups
The ILaS Sniffer supports network time synchronization using 802.1AS (gPTP automotive profile), functioning as Grandmaster, Master, or Slave. This allows multiple devices to operate in synchronized setups, extending analysis to larger and more complex network configurations.
Optimized logging
Startup time is crucial in an in-vehicle-network. Therefore, the ILaS Sniffer is developed to provide an optimized startup time to be ready to log before the ECUs are up and send data. In addition to that, the Capture Module is equipped with an internal buffer to store the first frames (sent from the ECUs), even if the data sink is not yet ready. As soon as the data sink is up and ready to receive data, all the stored data will be sent out. With the packetization and output traffic shaping feature the Capture Module can adjust the size of the logging frames and have the possibility to maintain a consistent data flow (to the logger or the test PC). This way it actively prevents forwarding of bursts. The combination of these features ensures that no frames are lost.
Configuration
The ILaS Sniffer offers a flexible and user-friendly configuration through its built-in web server. The device webpage can be easily accessed via a standard web browser. In addition, the possibility to import/export a configuration makes it even more convenient.
Early Access Product
An Early Access Product (EAP) is a nearly finished product available to selected users before its official release. The product may remain in this status, because it includes a pre-market component (PHY/Switches) that is not fully certified, which restricts the entire product from achieving CE certification or equivalent regulatory approval. This means, EAP is still a prototype, but in a very advanced state. Small adaptations are still possible, but no critical changes are expected and general development is closed. The software includes almost all planned features. Documentation as e.g. User Manual is available and completed.
The ILaS Sniffer is designed to be used in various environments such as in the car, on a development desk, or in testbenches. To best support these scenarios, the device allows continuous operation and supports a wide input voltage range, making it suitable for demanding automotive environments.
