Prodigy PGY-I2S is electrical validation, audio and protocol decode software for I2S that runs inside a Tektronix oscilloscope. One tool covers three layers: automated timing measurements against the I2S standard, protocol decode, and the audio itself, which you can play back, view as a spectrogram and export as a WAV file. A five-panel view cross-links the spectrogram, audio waveform, protocol data, analog signal and eye diagram, so a glitch you hear can be traced to the bit and the edge that caused it. Pertech is the authorized Prodigy distributor.
I2S software highlights
- One tool for physical, protocol and audio analysis
- Penta monitor: spectrogram, audio, protocol, signal and eye diagram monitors, cross-linked in one window
- Supports I2S, left justified and right justified formats
- Automated timing measurements against the I2S standard
- Protocol and timing based I2S triggering
- Oscilloscope setup assistant for accurate, repeatable measurements
- Play and store the uncompressed audio; search across thousands of protocol events
- Export to WAV, MATLAB, CSV and text; customizable reports
Where the I2S software earns its keep
- Validating audio codecs, DACs and ADCs on I2S links
- Tracing audible glitches to protocol or timing errors
- Compliance checks of I2S timing before production
- Audio teams that need to hear and see the same capture

Frequently asked questions
What makes PGY-I2S different from a plain I2S decoder?
It analyzes three layers in one tool: electrical timing against the I2S standard, protocol decode and the audio content, with a spectrogram, playback and eye diagram all linked to the same capture.
Which I2S formats are supported?
Standard I2S, left justified and right justified.
Can I listen to the captured audio?
Yes. The software plays and stores the uncompressed audio and exports it as a WAV file, as well as to MATLAB, CSV and text.
Which oscilloscopes does it run on?
It runs inside Tektronix oscilloscopes, and its setup assistant configures the oscilloscope automatically for accurate measurements.
