General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) Sniffer System and Method

Abstract:

A sniffer bus-based network General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) module includes two functional units. One is Data Acquisition Unit (DAU) module, and the other one is Data Processing Unit (DPU) module. The DPU is configured to receive data from the (DAU) module and converting the data by time-stamping and a host server configured to receive JSON format data via a communication network. Further, captured data is transferred to the cloud for big data analysis to obtain the specifics of equipment utilization and evaluate the overall efficiency of the test system.
