Detection ULTRA (Ultimate Recognition Algorithm)

method The proprietary «ULTRA» signal processing technology is a filter mechanism to detect the
typical markers of a communication protocol, followed by an automatic comparison with the
built-in protocol database. This check is carried out to guarantee detection quality even in very
unfavourable environments.
