Beagle USB 480 Protocol Analyzer Unboxing and Quick Start
In this video, we will be unboxing the Beagle USB 480 Protocol Analyzer and showing you how to quickly get started debugging your USB applications.
USB Debugging Using a Real-Time USB Bus Monitor
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.
