Module brings USB 2.0 bus analysis support for bench oscilloscopes

Tektronix Inc.’s bench oscilloscopes now have the DPO4USB module for triggering and analysis on USB serial buses. The new module complements the MSO/DPO4000 Series oscilloscopes and automates key measurement and analysis tasks on USB 2.0 low-speed, full-speed and high-speed buses, enabling engineers to more quickly troubleshoot and debug their designs for a faster time to market.

The DPO4USB module addresses the needs of designers integrating USB 2.0 buses into products ranging from toys to medical equipment and industrial systems to digital cameras and video recorders. The DPO4USB module instantly decodes the protocol, presenting the acquired waveforms and decoded data packets time-aligned on the oscilloscope display, and provides the ability to automatically trigger on and then search for specific packet level content.
