Compare SNA Software Editions

Matrix

There are three Sensor Network Analyzer (SNA) editions available: Professional, Standard and Basic.

The Professional edition provides more functionality than the Standard edition, which in turn, provides more functionality than the Basic edition. The Professional and Standard editions are available to purchase from Daintree Networks, while the Basic edition is provided with many popular semiconductor development kits. 

100A Professional (Pro) edition

A complete toolkit for ZigBee and 802.15.4 development, testing, commissioning, and maintenance. Key differentiators include multi-node capture, advanced network visualization, detailed performance measurements, active analysis of live networks, advanced troubleshooting, and commissioning tool.

101B Standard (Std) edition

An essential set of tools for ZigBee and 802.15.4 development and testing. Key features include comprehensive protocol analysis with detailed packet lists and packet decodes, filters and extensive capture playback controls, editable XML-based profiles, and basic network visualization.

Basic edition

A toolkit for 802.15.4 development and testing, with basic ZigBee features to assist with evaluating ZigBee development options. Available only through Daintree's semiconductor partners, this edition is not covered by any of Daintree's technical support or software update programs.

Notes

[1]   Requires a device capable of "active analysis" such as Daintree's 2400E Sensor Network Adapter.
[2]   Security keys can be added manually (Standard edition)
[3]   Requires embedded device to include ZigBee Commissioning Cluster and stack support for the Commissioning Cluster 
[4]   Currently supported for selected Texas Instruments SoC devices.
[5]   The 12-month SUS subscription is provided only for software purchased directly from Daintree Networks. Software provided through a third party (for example, as part of a developer kit) receives only 30 days of updates and support. Find out more about Daintree support
