The Argos Tetra Protocol Analyzer

by XPro Ltd

 

Argos is an Universal Protocol Analyzer software for telecommunication protocols, running on Windows platforms.

It uses a proprietary XML protocol definition language to define the supported protocols and the user interface layouts.

The software provides a set of input interfaces for real time and offline protocol analysis: log files (text or binary), serial COM ports, TCP/IP ports, SSH and Telnet sessions, clipboard, and user implemented input devices supported by an API, for proprietary hardware.

It offers multiple views of the analyzed protocol data and various post processig features like, PDU reassembling of fragmented messages, view and PDU filtering, reporting, message diagrams, exporting to text (plain, RTF or HTML) or binary (user defined) formats.
