Customizable Protocol Decoder Speeds Embedded Bus Debugging May 15, 2008
The USBee DX Logic Analyzer and Oscilloscope now includes the PacketPresenter Protocol Decoder in its suite of debugging tools. The decode displays bus traffic between system components in a graphical packet format, thereby accelerating debugging and enabling quick assessment of communication data. It packetizes raw bus data, removes encoding, parses it into fields, and displays it in a customizable format. Bus support includes I2C, SPI, ASYNC, CAN, USB, parallel, Sync Serial, 1-Wire, I2S, PS2, and SMBus. PacketPresenter is customizable to fit each custom and unique embedded bus protocol via an intuitive and configurable definition file and it also provides a detailed look into how packet communications on each bus relate to the actual voltage-versus-time waveforms of the bus signals. PacketPresenter is a standard feature of the USBee DX Test Pod and is a free upgrade for existing USBee DX users. Price for USBee DX Test Pod is $1,495.00 and includes all cables, clips, leads, software, and accessories. CWAV INC., Temecula, CA. (951) 694-6808.
