Beagle USB 480 Power Protocol Analyzer – Ultimate Edition

TP323610

The Beagle USB 480 Power Protocol Analyzer – Ultimate Edition enables VBUS current and voltage measurement within our industry-leading Data Center Software. This analyzer includes enhanced USB 2.0 advanced triggering, an extra-large hardware buffer, and one-click correlation of voltage and current measurement to protocol-level activity. Engineers can take advantage of our unique real-time data analysis and display to easily debug the functionality of their embedded systems while also optimizing the power profile of their applications.

USB Capture and Analysis

  • Non-intrusively monitor Low/Full/High-Speed USB 2.0 traffic (up to 480 Mbps)
  • Capture traces to >25 GB
  • Real-time capture and display – view USB packets and USB-specific error code values in real time
  • Two capture modes: real-time and delayed-download
  • Packet-level timing with 16.67 ns resolution
  • High-Speed USB chirp detection of K and J chirp patterns
  • Robust automatic speed detection
  • Hardware-based packet suppression to reduce captured data amount
  • Detect suspend/resume events and unexpected signals

Advanced Debugging

  • Real-time USB class-level decoding with the Data Center Software
  • Monitor VBUS current and voltage values and correlate values to captured USB data
  • Advanced state-based triggering with up to 8 independent states and 6 matches per state
  • Digital I/O for synchronizing external logic – includes 4 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs
  • High-performance hardware buffer – 256 MB capacity with large circular buffer

Monitor VBUS Current and Voltage with the Beagle USB 480 Power

YouTube video

Easily monitor current and voltage levels on VBUS as well as USB protocol traffic to debug your USB application using the Beagle USB 480 Power Protocol Analyzer.

USB Debugging Using a Real-Time USB Bus Monitor

YouTube video

In this demonstration we will be using the Beagle USB 480 Protocol Analyzer to sniff a USB bus. This analyzer combined with the Data Center Software allows users to non-intrusively monitor the USB bus in true real time. In this video we will be monitoring the traffic from a USB mouse and USB flash drive.
