RAD-Gigastar

The RAD-Gigastar can monitor one pair of 100/1000BASE-T1* connections with an additional pair of SFP cages to support optical/ copper SFP transceivers. In addition, the RAD-Gigastar can also operate as a programmable gateway to create an Ethernet-to-Ethernet or a CAN-Ethernet gateway.

• Intrepid Time Sync (ITS) provides hardware synchronization with other Intrepid tools and autonomous logger systems
• Isolated USB 3.1 connection or Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) for PC connection, depending on configuration
• 5.5-60V power range, compatible with in-vehicle power

* – BroadR-Reach® devices also supported; 1 – 1000BASE-X supported via SFP;  2 – Check with Intrepid for SFP compatibility.

The RAD-Gigastar can act as a media converter for 100/1000BASE-T1, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-X to standard 10/100/1000 Ethernet which is useful for connecting a PC to a 100/1000BASE-T1 host or switch. This allows you to simulate nodes or perform direct diagnostics or ECU flashing. In addition, the “pure” media converter mode disables encapsulation of messages and allows connections between media of differing bit rates, buffering as needed.

Stand-Alone Logging, Scripting, and Simulation

The RAD-Gigastar is capable of running real-time scripts and logging data to internal NVM at speeds up to 480 Mbps (Optional NVM storage up to 512 GB). With features like Real Time Clock (RTC) backup and supercap logging protection, RAD-Gigastar helps protect your data against unexpected power failure and crank events.

Intrepid Time Sync

RAD-Gigastar can be linked with other Intrepid tools and autonomous logger systems using the Intrepid Time Sync format. ITS uses a proprietary method to provide very tight microsecond timing sync to all connected devices. For example, by using ITS between a RAD-Mars and RAD-Gigastar, you can record a multigigabit data steams with up to 2 terabytes with the RAD-Mars, while recording even more data with the RAD-Gigastar. Both datasets will be fully synced.

Central Gateway Testing

The RAD-Gigastar is uniquely configured to test central gateways. Connect to the “clean” and “dirty” side of the central gateway with four Ethernet ports, as well as the 6x CAN FD networks. All data is synchronized with better than 10 ns accuracy

Automotive Ethernet PHY Testing

RAD-Gigastar’s user friendly and powerful design allows you to validate and debug physical layer/PHY issues. The RAD-Gigastar provides PHY-level information including signal quality measurement, master/slave or negotiation modes, and other qualities available from the PHY.
