An Ethernet network recorder can capture data stored in Ethernet frames and write them to a file using the Wireshark Packet CAPture (PCAP) file format. This paper outlines the process of packing data samples in Ethernet frames for transmission across an Ethernet networked data acquisition system. The following topics are discussed:
