DIS Link Monitor

Correctly displays and acts upon all PDUs listed in the DIS standards corresponding to protocol versions 4, 5, 6, and 7. It can accept any valid DIS version on receive, and it uses the selected DIS version for transmission only.

Supports both a single DIS LAN and dual DIS LANs for Entity and Radio PDUs. The dual LAN option plays back any PDU recordings and transmits the Radio PDUs on the radio LAN, regardless of the recording's original source.

Monitors and captures PDUs.

Converts position expressed as X/Y/Z to latitude/longitude/height.

Converts velocity expressed as dX/dY/dZ to speed and heading.

Converts orientation from Euler angles to azimuth, roll, and pitch.

Can manually generate PDUs.

Generates specified Entity State PDUs and Entity State Update PDUs.

Provides a rich set of statistical monitoring functions.

Generates error messages in simple English for rejected PDUs. Provides capability to record or playback DIS PDUs:

• Recording supports dual LAN operation for separation of data and radio PDUs.
• Replay sessions recorded on a single LAN configuration on a dual LAN configuration.

Replay sessions recorded on a dual LAN configuration on a single LAN configuration:

• Filter recording or playback on the PDU family.
• Replay the session using the original exercise IDs or a specified exercise ID.
• Randomly position the time during replay.
• Continuously loop replay.
• Use the original PDU time stamps or new time stamps during replay.

Provides an F/A-18 simulator with radar, Identification of Friend or Foe (IFF), jamming, and weapons fire.

Provides a submarine simulator with underwater acoustic, SEES generation, and weapons fire.

Provides radio and intercom simulators with selectable transmitter parameters and a selectable, prerecorded audio signal PDU stream.

The latest version of DIS Link Monitor supports nonstandard PDUs by providing options that define and capture custom PDUs.

Quickly and easily define random PDUs by specifying each record as a standard data type (e.g., byte, short, int) or a defined data structure (e.g., TEntityID). The data structures may consist of standard data types or other data structures. Define each record—both standard data types and defined data structures—as repeated a constant number of times. Alternatively, define the repeat count as any suitable earlier-defined record within the PDU. The screenshots below show an Entity State PDU definition and the resultant data capture display:
