Network diagnostics
Portable and stationary Softing instruments and analyzers for commissioning, acceptance testing and troubleshooting of supported industrial networks.
Start with the networkSelect from protocol, cable/media, connector, topology, required measurements and acceptance evidence.
Physical and communication layersA tester that checks cabling does not automatically provide complete protocol or long-term monitoring evidence.
Documented acceptanceDefine limits, test locations, instrument calibration and report format before commissioning.
Family boundaryUse the current model page for exact interfaces, measurement ranges, accessories and supported protocols.
