TraceKit Architecture

Overview

TraceKit follows a modular architecture with clear separation of concerns:

Core Modules

  • core/ - Signal data structures and fundamental operations
  • loaders/ - File format parsers (WFM, VCD, PCAP, etc.)
  • analyzers/ - Signal analysis algorithms
  • Digital signal analysis
  • Spectral analysis
  • Protocol decoders
  • Power analysis
  • Jitter analysis
  • inference/ - Protocol reverse engineering
  • reporting/ - Export and report generation
  • workflows/ - High-level analysis pipelines

Design Principles

  1. Composability - Small, focused modules that work together
  2. Standards Compliance - IEEE 181, 1241, 1459, 2414
  3. Extensibility - Plugin system for custom analyzers
  4. Performance - Optimized for large signals with streaming support

Data Flow

Load Signal → Analyze → Process → Export
     ↓          ↓         ↓         ↓
  Loaders → Analyzers → Filters → Reporters

Module Dependencies

(Detailed dependency graphs will be added here)

Package Structure
