Evaluating Target Environment Using the PLCA-22 Power Line Communication Analyzer

The PLCA-22 Power Line Communication Analyzer is a complex, yet easy to use tool designed to test the reliability of the Power Line Smart Transceiver in your target environment. They can be used to measure several key communication parameters such attenuation tolerance/communication margin, signal to noise ratio, bit error rate, relative phase and pure physical layer performance Vs performance with LonTalk® protocol switched on. This is a quick and inexpensive means for validating the technology and understanding the characteristics of your environment before you embark on any development effort. This presentation discusses the proper use of a PLCA-22 Power Line Communication Analyzer.
