Affordable USB 2.0 Analyzer
Super portable USB 2.0 protocol analyzer with legendary CATC Trace™ display
Comprehensive USB Device class decoding is included with the Mercury T2.
Complete list of USB Decodes
This allows users to see upper-level mapped protocol events within the trace eliminating the tedious process of manually decoding device specific commands. From Mass Storage Class to Communication Device Class (CDC), the Mercury T2 provides the most complete decoding of USB device transactions.
The Mobile T2 leads the industry in affordability with comprehensive USB 2.0 test and analysis features. Starting at $875, the Mercury T2 can be used virtually anywhere, extending beyond the lab environment over to the personal workstations of USB developers. Every engineer within a design team (hardware, software, and firmware) will appreciate the benefit of having a personal analyzer to fit their individual needs.
Featuring the industry-leading CATC Trace expert analysis software, the Mercury T2 system provides an easy-to-use display that graphically decodes logical protocol events. With the Standard or Advanced edition, all protocol levels can be expanded to show the underlying transactions and packets.
Completely passive in design, the Mercury T2 preserves real-world signaling and provides 100% faithful representation of traffic on the bus. Featuring a high-impedance, non-intrusive probe, the Mercury acts strictly as a "sniffer" and does not re-time or affect signal amplitude between the host and device. 256MB of physical data recording memory can be extended with filtering and data truncation.
Isolating specific protocol events with real time triggering is essential to capture intermittent problems. The Mercury T2 provides sophisticated triggering with drag-and-drop selections for PID type, data patterns, standard requests, errors, and bus events. The Mercury provides 14 protocol error triggers with auto-detection of several additional post-capture errors. The ability to trigger & pinpoint specific bus conditions as they occur saves time during testing and debug.
The CATC trace software includes a persistent timing display that provides one-click measurements between events. The bandwidth calculator provides full bus utilization metrics for any range of packets.
Teledyne LeCroy's USB software provides many mechanisms to measure and report on USB traffic. The Bus Utilization graphs data, packet length, and bus usage by device. Using the Traffic Summary window, users can evaluate statistical reports at a glance or navigate to individual packets.
Powerful search and reporting options allow users to quickly navigate to specific packets, errors and any data type within a trace file. The CATC Trace also supports filter and hide commands, to remove irrelevant data from the Trace for efficient viewing.

The embedded USB probe allows any Teledyne LeCroy USB protocol analyzer to tap between chip-to-chip USB links using low or full speed Inter-chip signals or standard USB 2.0 signaling.
Inter-Chip USB (IC-USB) specification (Reference A) defines a standard methodology for using USB in chip-to-chip communications. It is used in the embedded systems market as a replacement for i2C to control data transfers between endpoint functions within an embedded device. IC-USB allows vendors to leverage on-board embedded USB host logic to enable faster chip-to-chip communications using USB physical links within a multi-chip PCB assembly.
Teledyne LeCroy's embedded probe supports tapping these chip-to-chip links using low or full speed Inter-chip signals at all defined IC-USB voltages. The probe can also be used to tap USB 2.0 links at standard 3.3 volt signal levels. The embedded probe utilizes a 4-wire header plug that can be attached as a solder down tap or as flying lead connection attached directly to header pins on the DUT. These probing techniques can be used for both USB 2.0 compliant electrical links or low/full speed Inter-chip links. The USB protocol traffic can be monitored (via the D+/D- wires) by attaching the probe to the "A" port of a Teledyne LeCroy USB analyzer.
