Transfer of online monitored data to a PC
Using the utility software that converts the communication data of the analyzer into a format that can be handled by Wireshark, you can transfer the online monitored data in the memory to a PC.
- Copy lepcapcvt.exe in the lepcapcvt folder to an appropriate folder on your computer and execute it.
- Specify the connection destination. When connecting via USB, specify the serial number printed on the back of the analyzer, and when connecting via LAN or Wi-Fi (supported models only), specify the IP address.
- It executes start/stop measurement and import of the data.
For details on how to use the software, see readme.txt in the CD-ROM attached to the product. Wireshark must be installed to handle pcap and pcapng format files.

Specifications of Function and Hardware
Item | Specifications |
---|---|
Interface | SFP+ 2ports, A and B (optional SFP/SFP+ modules to be connected). 10GbE such as 10GBASE-T/SR/LR/ER, 1GbE and 2.5GbE. |
Memory/Internal Storage | Capture memory: 1Gbyte (96byte to 12320byte for 1 frame). Internal storage: 500Gbyte. |
On-line Monitor Function | Recording and real-time display of Ethernet frames flowing between SFP+ ports A and B. Frame Size: 60byte to 9Kbyte. Capture performance: About 10Gbps*1. |
Time stamp | The reception time is added as timestamp data for each received frame. Resolution: 8n seconds / 1u seconds / 10u seconds can be selected. |
Data display/operation | 2Scroll display, 2-split comparison display, jump operation to specified screen, mark jump operation. |
Translation | Supported protocols: IPv4, ARP, ICMP, TCP, UDP, DHCP, EtherCAT, IPv6, ICMPv6. |
Filter Function | Can monitor only the specific frames that match one or two specified conditions. Condition: When the specified frame is received or when the external TTL signal changes. |
Trigger Function | Action: Automatically stops the monitor, counts the number of matching conditions, outputs an external TTL signal. |
Search Function | From the measured data, it can search, cue, and count only the specific frames that match the specified conditions. |
SFP Module Information Display Function | Displays detailed information of the SFP/SFP+ module inserted to the measurement port. |
Statistical Analysis Function | It takes statistics of two frame counter values at specified intervals (2 to 240 seconds, 1 to 240 minutes) and can display the graph display, all frame counter values, and data rate in real-time. |
PG Function | From the SFP+ port A and B, it can output an arbitrary packet set in 16 transmission data tables (total 32k data) of each port at arbitrary wire rate. |
Ping Function | Can issue a PING command from SFP+ port A to display the number of responses and response time (current value, maximum value, minimum value, average value). |
Port Blink Function | The connection destination of the cable can be confirmed by periodically blinking the link LED of the hub port to which the cable of SFP+ port A is connected. |
Capture Slice Function | Records only the first 60 bytes of LAN frames flowing between SFP+ ports A and B. |
Auto save Function | The contents of the capture memory (monitored data) can be automatically saved as a communication log file to the built-in SSD or to a storage device such as USB memory / SDHC card*2. |
Additional Functions | Time synchronization function by PPS signal of GNSS or external PPS signal, auto backup function, time specified automatic RUN/STOP function, power-on automatic RUN function. Printout function. Measured data can be converted and saved as pcapng/csv/txt format file. |
Display | 7 inch TFT color LCD with capacitive touch panel. |
Line Status LED | 11 LEDs always display the connection status of SFP+ port A and B. |
LAN Port | RJ45 connector, 1000BASE-T Ethernet: IEEE 802.3 for PC connection. |

Standard | CE (class A). |
Size & Weight | 234(W) x 186(D) x 44(H)mm, about 990g. |
* 1 Capture loss may occur if a large number of short packets are continuously sent to the target line of capturing or if packets are sent simultaneously in both directions with a high load.
* 2 For high-traffic lines, part of the communication frame is not recorded in the storage and capture loss may occur.
* 3 LE-8600XR only. For PC connection. The "Wi-Fi module" used for the product conforms to SRRC(China), FCC (USA), CE (EU), TELEC (Japan), KCC (Korea), ISED (Canada), NCC (Republic of China), however, as the "product" the Wi-Fi function is available only in Japan, USA, Canada, and EU nations in compliance with RE directive (2014/53/EU).
* 4 According to our test conditions assuming a normal usage situation.
