CobraCAD and CobraNet Discovery  
CobraCAD is a tool used to design and diagnose network  
systems. Using a graphic user interface, you can select  
CobraNet-compatible devices and network devices (such as  
switching hubs), make connections between devices, set the  
sampling frequency, latency, bit-rate and other settings, as  
well as simulate network setups in advance.  
From the Start menu, choose “All Programs” and follow the  
“CobraNet Discovery” arrow to the following menu. Select  
“User Guide” to open the CobraNet Discovery User Guide  
PDF file.  
CobraNet Discovery can be used to list the equipment  
on the network, view sampling frequency, latency and  
bit-rate settings, as well as routing information, including  
transmitter and receiver designations and bundle number  
settings.  
Specifications  
A computer running a Windows OS with the CobraNet  
Discovery software installed on it must be a part of a  
network in order to create a CobraNet on that network.
