Inexpensive analyzer tests USB 3.0 on the bench or in the field

Designed to significantly lower the cost of testing SuperSpeed USB devices, the Advisor T3 USB 3.0 protocol analyzer delivers proven 5-Gbit/s serial data capability in an easily carried 5 x 6 x 1.2-in. package for an introductory price of less than $5,000. Not only does the analyzer let developers accelerate SuperSpeed USB product introductions, it also provides field engineers with a tool for ensuring solid customer support, providing a broad feature set that fully support not only USB 3.0 but 2.0 as well.

Based on the Voyager verification system, the analyzer leverages its manufacturer’s extensive expertise in high-speed signal probing and provides an intuitive, hierarchical CATC Trace view; this display eases understanding of USB protocol by providing both visibility at the packet level as well as decoding of higher-level USB events. Hardware-based event triggering makes it easier to pinpoint specific traffic conditions, and debugging features include spool-to-disk capture and 2-Gbyte built-in memory.

The unit is also available in a USB 2.0-only configuration that can be upgraded to add SuperSpeed analysis features. (Introductory price, $4,950 — available now.)
