[0002] During the training and exercises of actual combat equipment, the equipment and its external devices will generate a large amount of communication data and video display data. After the training and exercises, it is necessary to analyze the data generated by the equipment during use, and to locate faults, analyze data, and display effects from the data to determine whether the combat effect has been achieved, whether the operation training is correct, whether the video display is compliant, and whether each status unit is working normally, so as to achieve the visualization requirements of equipment data during exercises and training. Different equipment has different data protocol collection requirements, so the collection equipment is required to be able to collect data from the corresponding ports. At the same time, the data collector has miniaturization requirements and must be easy to carry, install and use. The data collector has functions such as online monitoring collection, local storage, and wireless / wired network data transmission.
