Protocol test device and method for operating a protocol test device
First Claim
1. A protocol test device for testing protocol compliance of a wireless device under test, the protocol test device comprising:
- a RF interface for transmitting an outgoing RF signal to the wireless device under test or for receiving an incoming RF signal from the wireless device under test,a processing unit for generating messages for the outgoing RF signal based on a predefined protocol and for processing messages in the incoming RF signal based on the predefined protocol,a message log memory for storing the generated messages and the received messages,a summary message generation unit that generates a summary log message and stores the summary log message in the message log memory, wherein the summary log message comprises information about the generated messages and repetitions of the respective generated message, or information about the received messages and repetitions of the respective received message, wherein the information that the summary message generation unit includes in the summary log message about the generated messages and the repetitions of the respective generated messages, or the received messages and the repetitions of the respective received messages, comprises the number of repetitions of the respective message, wherein the number of repetitions is predefined by a communication standard, anda protocol analyzer that analyzes the summary log message that detects non-conforming data transmissions without parsing the entire message log memory for repetitions of single messages.
