PGY-USB2.0 Protocol Decode Software for Tektronix Oscilloscopes

Frequently Asked Questions

1 What is the primary function of the USB 2.0 Protocol Decode Software?

The USB 2.0 Protocol Decode Software decodes protocol data as specified in the USB 2.0 specification. It runs on Tektronix Oscilloscopes, enabling engineers to quickly check for USB 2.0 compliance and debug communication failures by decoding commands and responses.

2 How does the software help engineers debug USB 2.0 communication issues?

The software assists debugging by linking protocol content to the physical layer signal on the oscilloscope, overlaying protocol data on analog waveforms, and allowing engineers to zoom into specific packets. It also provides search capabilities and various data formats to correlate protocol data with electrical characteristics.

3 Which USB 2.0 speeds are supported by the protocol decode software?

The PGY-USB2.0 Protocol Decode Software supports decoding for low speed, full speed, and high-speed USB 2.0 signals. This allows for a comprehensive understanding of the protocol communication between a host and a device across all specified speeds.

4 What file formats does the software support for analysis and export?

For offline analysis, the software supports WFM and isf file formats. It also provides the ability to store decoded USB protocol data in CSV and TXT formats, and includes export and report generation features for easy sharing and archival.
