The suite allows the user to control multiple instruments from a single site via a TCP/IP connection from anywhere in the world. The software consists of the ARIAL client and the ARIAL server. Typically, the remote server will be installed on a PC that has a GPIB connection to the test instrument; with the client installed on the user's PC.
The two parts can then be linked over the TCP/IP layer using LAN, WAN, VPN, dial-up PSTN link etc.
All that is needed to connect the client to the server is the IP address of the remote computer.
The remote side of the software consists of the ARIAL server running on a Windows 2000 computer connected to the instrument(s).
The local side consists of the ARIAL client, also running on a Windows 2000 computer, typically in a central location and operated by a skilled engineer.
Currently, ARIAL supports the Anritsu MP1570A and MP1570A1 SONET/SDH/PDH ATM protocol analysers.
The architecture is scalable and allows "space" for easy addition of new instruments, instrument classes and enhancements to existing instruments.
ARIAL supports all commonly used SDH analyser functions.
