The Data Center Software is Total Phase’s free bus monitoring software that is used in conjunction with our protocol analyzers and offers a variety of ways to monitor and debug data in real time. One of the most useful features of the Data Center Software is the LiveFilter feature, which allows users to refine large streams of data and focus on data of interest. In this blog post, we will discuss what the LiveFilter feature is, which parameters it can filter, and how it can be used. First, we will provide a brief introduction into the Data Center Software.

For my setup, the internal pull-ups of the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter will be disabled and 2.2k pull-ups will be connected from the SCL and SDA lines to a 2.7V voltage source. Here is a diagram:

PMBus, or Power Management Bus, is two-wire interface that defines the management of power subsystems. This bus is an extension of the SMBus protocol, so PMBus and SMBus hold many similarities. In this article, we’ll provide a high-level overview of the background of PMBus, how PMBus operates, where it’s used, and ways to debug and develop PMBus systems.

I am using the Beagle USB 12 Protocol Analyzer with Beagle Software API (python) to grab data. My device outputs data very quickly through Endpoint 1. However, I only need the IN data that is output by Endpoint 3, which delivers far less data.
