MeshDecoder's FrameDecoder engine has been built with complex protocol stacks, such as ZigBee, in mind. As each packet is decoded, MeshDecoder retains important system state information, which is used for future decoding. As subsequent packets are processed, decoding reflects the state of the entire system. And, this same powerful decoding engine, which is used by the built-in ZigBee decoders, is also available for user-defined decoding of any IEEE 802.15.4-based protocol.

See the Details - Frame Display - Protocol Decoding
The detailed information in the Frame Display window is presented clearly and with as much, or as little, detail as you require.

  • Summary Information for Messages Sent and Received.
  • Message Frame is Decoded into Text.
  • ZigBee Cluster Library Decoded down to a Specific Value.
  • Protocol Errors Identified with Red Frame Numbers.
  • Message is Shown in Binary, Octal, Hex and ASCII.
  • Display filters include:
    • Pre-Set Filters.
    • Node Information Filters.
    • User Defined Complex Filters.
  • Side-by-Side Comparisons with Multiple Display Windows.
  • For Custom Decodes use the included FrameDecoder® Development Kit.

See the Details - Frame Display - Quick Filters
Quick filters within the Frame Display window add powerful, yet easy to use filtering to include or exclude/hide messages/frames that contain a specific protocol, and it also allows you to filter on specific messages.

See the Details - Frame Display - Printing
MeshDecoders printing capability gives you options for printing out information in the Frame Display.

Selecting options, as shown in the above screen shot of MeshDecoder's Frame Display Print feature, results in a print-out as illustrated in the Print Preview screen shot below. You can also choose an option so that the print-out includes the decode information for each Frame number.
