LeCroy FireInspector™ IEEE 1394 Bus & Protocol Analyser
LeCroy FireInspector 2.0 is the industry leading IEEE 1394 Bus & Protocol Analyser that dramatically speeds "time to market" and simplifies complex development projects with its intuitive CATC Trace display of bus traffic. The FireInspector's graphical user interface features collapsible, color coded packets representing 1394 bus transactions. It also includes a tree-structured topology view that updates dynamically with CSR and connection speed information. These powerful analysis tools combine to make designing and debugging today's multiprotocol, multinode 1394 applications easier than ever.

The LeCroy FireInspector IEEE 1394a Bus & Protocol Analyser is based on LeCroy's exclusive BusEngine technology. This serial bus analyser technology gives the FireInspector Analyser unprecedented functionality, unparalleled flexibility and uncompromising user-friendliness for the IEEE 1394-based (FireWire™ and I.Link™) product development and test communities.

An option to include IEEE 1394a Traffic Generation is available in the FireInspector Plus version of the product.
