Abstract
The invention provides a general-purpose data parsing and analysis system and methods of use. A common system is used for analyzing any data composed of interrelated data structures similar to the protocols found within network frames. A single logic control module is utilized to perform any number of data manipulation functions, for example parsing, filtering, statistics collection and format conversion based upon one or more programmably configurable protocol descriptions, which may be stored in and retrieved from an associated data storage device.
