Real-time capture and delayed-download capture
The Beagle USB 480 Protocol Analyzer has two different capture modes: real-time capture and delayed-download capture. The real-time capture mode allows developers to see all the high-speed data over USB as it happens. As the data is streamed in real-time, the capture size is only limited by the amount of RAM available on the analysis computer.
The delayed-download capture can be very useful in certain situations, such as when the Beagle USB 480 Protocol Analyzer is on the same high-speed bus as the target device. In these configurations, the Beagle analyzer is able to consume minimal USB bandwidth so that it does not obscure problems that occur only when the target is operating at the full USB bandwidth.
High-Speed USB Chirp Detection
The Beagle USB 480 Protocol Analyzer can capture and display the K and J chirp patterns used in high-speed speed negotiations.
Robust Automatic Speed Detection
The Beagle USB 480 Protocol Analyzer is able to robustly and reliably detect the correct speed of the USB data it is monitoring.
Hardware-based packet suppression
A hardware input filter is available to suppress packets in order to reduce the amount of data captured. The filter can remove empty packet pairs such as IN/NAK and PING/NAK pairs.
Digital Inputs and Outputs for Synchronising with External Logic
To assist in identifying problems, the Beagle USB 480 Protocol Analyzer provides multiple input triggers that allows users to capture additional hardware events in-line with the captured USB data from the target device.
Multiple output triggers are available to provide for synchronization of the Beagle analyzer with scopes and logic analyzers. These output triggers are able to match patterns in the captured data as well as idle bus states.
Detect Suspend/Resume Events and Unexpected Signals
The Beagle USB 480 Protocol Analyzer can intelligently detect suspend and resume events.
Packet-Level Timing
Get packet-level timing with 16.67 ns resolution.
Fully Linux and Windows compatible
The Beagle USB 480 Protocol Analyzer was engineered from the very beginning to be a cross-platform device. The complete functionality of the Beagle USB 480 monitor is available on Linux and Windows operating systems.
Beagle Data Center Software
The Beagle Data Center Software is the free software that is included with the Beagle™ USB 480 Protocol Analyzer. Everyone is welcome to download this software from the Total Phase website to allow for easy collaboration through the sharing of capture data files.
Features include:
|
Interactive filtering by token, packet, address, endpoint, arbitrary data patterns |
|
Packet and Descriptor decoding |
|
Real-time data capture and display |
Total Phase will be releasing a new version of the Beagle Data Center software in 2008 with many features at no extra charge, including:
|
class level decoding |
|
enhanced timing analysis |
|
faster filtering |
| and more... |

Rosetta Language Bindings - Development API
The full power of the Beagle analyzer is available for custom software applications through a free and royalty-free API. Developers have access to the same API that is used by the Beagle Data Center Software. Full functionality is available for automated test suites, production test fixtures, and more.
|
Develop custom solutions in C/C++, C#, VB, .NET, Python |
|
Clean API is well-documented and easy to integrate |
|
Fully Linux and Windows compatible |
|
Royalty-free API can be used without licensing fees |

The Beagle USB 480 Protocol Analyzer comes complete with software for an introductory price of £750. Additional discounts are available for larger volumes. There are no additional yearly support contracts and no fees for software updates.
This low price means that it is immediately affordable for a company to provide every developer with their own analyzer.
The benefits of the Beagle analyzer's low cost are:
|
Less time wasted because developers do not have to share analyzers or go to the lab to debug simple problems |
|
Shorter development cycles because developers can identify and fix problems quickly and easily |
|
Less wasted time means higher productivity |
Future-Proof
The Beagle monitor is completely field-upgradable via USB. Total Phase is committed to improving the Beagle USB analyzer and making these improvements available to our customers free of charge. There are no yearly support contracts and no software update fees.
Updates will be available for download from our website's Downloads section.
