CATC USB Bus & Protocol analyzers & Traffic Generators lecroy_sm.jpg (5034 bytes) 

 

The CATC Range of USB protocol analyzers and exercisers is the widest in the industry. Their low cost, modular solutions are available for use with USB 2.0, 1.1 and On-the-Go (OTG) standards. Each system shares the same market leading features:
  • Non-intrusive probing that preserves the real world timing conditions by monitoring the links without affecting signal timing, thus assuring you uncompromised data integrity.
  • Advanced triggering, filtering, reporting and searching .
  • Full decoding of all the standard USB 2.0 class types displayed at packet, transaction or transfer layers.
  • For more unique developments, you can create your own custom class decodes to further extend the capabilities of the system.

Much of the power of the USB Protocol analyzers is provided by the CATC Trace software. Click here for more details on the CATC Trace and the latest version release notes >>>

USBTracer/Trainer

The USBTracer/Trainer™ Advanced Verification System is LeCroy’s top-of-the-line USB protocol analyzer with integrated USB exerciser capability. It allows designers and validation engineers to quickly and easily transmit valid and invalid traffic, selectively record the exchange and display the results using the CATC Trace expert analysis software. This all-in-one platform provides fast, efficient and accurate test and verification of USB semiconductors, devices and systems.

The USBTracer/Trainer can record Hi-Speed, Full Speed and Low Speed USB traffic. It is the first analyzer to provide fully "native" On-the-Go (OTG) triggering and decoding. From the undisputed leader in USB test and verification tools, LeCroy’s USBTracer/Trainer provides unprecedented functionality, flexibility and user friendliness.

USBTracer is also available separately for those projects that do not require traffic generation. The USBTrainer module can be added later to enable host and device emulation.

Key Features
