Chapter 1: Starting out Introduction The USB Explorer 200 is a non-intrusive high speed USB 2.0 protocol analyzer allowing you to display the bus states and the packets sent, decode the descriptors, detect errors and incompatibilities in devices or drivers as well as quantify their performance.
Computer Connecting the analyzer to the analysis computer The USB Explorer 200 is a high speed, full speed and low speed USB 2.0 protocol analyzer that sends data using a high speed USB 2.0 connection. The recommended configuration requires two computers, one for communicating with the device under test and the other for displaying the results of the analysis.
