eyeBurst: signal monitoring for Mac, Linux & Windows

[james_turton]

Looks I like a might have been a bit hasty with the "UTD only" claim. From what I can gather from the docs for iConnect and utTraceStar, the drivers for the USB and PCMCIA devices create a new Windows network interface through which the device can be accessed for debug info in the same way as a UTD can through ethernet. I do not know what happens with USB and PCMCIA on other operating systems. I coudn't even get the USB drivers from WBS installed on Mac OS X. But I'm pretty sure that all three monitoring programs get their data the same way, so any network setup that works for one of them should work for all of them.

Check the readme for config and execution instructions... on Linux you may need to launch from a shell.

I have a wireless access point / router box, and to be able to run eyeBurst I have to move my UTD from the WAN port to a LAN port. The idea that the WAN port must have an IP of 192.168.250.x, x != 10 sounds right to me, but I can't do this with my device - the only way that the WAN port gets an IP is when it is assigned one after a PPPOE dialout. Maybe with more configurable routers you can create aliases or something...

I have released eyeBurst 1.0. It adds sampling functionality and a box and whisker plot to try to make the whole measurement process a little more scientific. There is a new screenshot at the project site.

Nice App.....!

Well done mate!

[james_turton]

Thanks dude, but it wasn't me that came up with the idea...

[james_turton]

ive got the drivers installed duh

Are there device drivers for Linux? I have used iBurst with rp-pppoe on Gentoo Linux before but that was connected by ethernet.

Couple of minor fixes and new features. Probably the final release barring the discovery of any unknown bugs.

Im having issues using the program. It connects fine, and says the correct tower that im connected to. But other than that it does nothing. utTraceStar is working 100%

Im running Java 6 Beta on Windows XP?

I haven't tried Java 6 so I don't know if that is causing the issue. You could try with Java 5 or you could turn the logging up to maximum and post any errors you see logged. I don't know if Windows has a system log so you might have to run from a command shell (java -jar eyeBurst.jar) in order to see eyeBurst's logging.

Hi James

Nice app, I took a look inside, very neat. I really need to get to grips with annotations, but that's another story...

Anyway the issue experienced by NeuralBlade is the same issue I was having with JDK 1.5 on Windows and Linux. The issue is not a JDK issue but within the code. The reason that I think you did not spot it is because I suspect your modem reports the data differently to ours - or mine at least (I have a USB modem).

Basically you expect "Load 0" but with my modem it returns "Load us 0". This causes your app to throw a NumberFormatException trying to parse "us".

I have created a patch and will post it on your SourceForge list, the patch is an example of the potential fix, not the actual fix itself. This problem is a bit more complicated since this patch will probable break your system

Once again, nice app!

Some simpler instructions would help. My network is on 192.168.1.100 do I now have to change it all to 192.168.250.1 to get it to work? also you instructions mention 192.168.250.1 and 192.168.250.10:1234 which is it or both?

I will check which IP it should be on when I get home tonight. What OS are you running?

[sabagamma]

The IP I use is 192.168.250.1 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0

Thanks very much for your observations and the patch. I will put in a fix that will hopefully accomodate both line formats and release in the near future. Testing both modem types will be a problem for me but maybe you guys could try it out? Also, don't be shy to request commit-access for the project and do some coding if you ever feel inspired

On another note: I know the setup instructions for eyeBurst are little terse, but allow me to refer users experiencing difficulty to the much larger body of documentation that exists for iConnect and utTraceStar. The setup should be identical for all three apps. In a nutshell, set the IP of a network interface that is on the same network as the modem to 192.168.250.n, where 1 <= n <= 255, n != 10.

eyeBurst 1.1.1 can be downloaded from the project's home on sourceforge. I have tried to address the issue raised by the preceding posts in this thread, and have also added tower load display.

Damn my connection has been terrible today, particularly for international traffic I see that others in this forum have also been having trouble.

anyone get eyeburst to work with windows vista. get a java error something about not being able to connect to the socket?
