Home Connectivity Software USB Software/PCI Software USB Testing Tools USB Bus Analyzers USB Explorer 200

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 and measure their performance.

Its ease of use makes the USB Explorer 200 an ideal accessory for anyone developing USB devices, hosts, embedded software or drivers. The USB Explorer enables significant reduction of development costs and product time to market.

Furthermore, using USB Explorer will improve the compatibility of peripherals, thereby reducing technical support costs. USB Explorer is an ideal solution for developing USB peripherals, embedded software or drivers. Its small size allows you to carry it with you anywhere you go.

The Standard Edition contains essential functionalities while the Professional Edition adds a hardware trigger, extensive USB classes decoders, a versatile data export functionality as well as a USB Analysis Development Kit enabling you to choose the USB analysis software to fit your specific needs.
