The Data Center Software is Total Phase’s free bus monitoring software that is used with our line of protocol analyzers and offers a variety of ways to monitor and debug data in real time. A feature that engineers often find beneficial is the ability to interface with the software through a command line. In this blog, we will discuss what the command line is and how to use the Command Line Window in the software. But first, we will provide a brief overview of the Data Center Software.

I just purchased a Beagle USB 12 Protocol Analyzer.  I am using it to debug and sniff USB 2.0 Flash drives. I installed the drivers and the Data Center Software, but I am having problems. When I start a capture and insert a USB Flash drive, I only see the following:

When developing embedded systems, various types of components are used to create a functioning system, including a combination of a computer processor, memory, and input/output peripheral devices. Each embedded system is different and ranges in complexity depending on its desired objective. One of the decisions engineers must make when developing an embedded system is what type of processor or processing system is used to execute computational tasks and manage various components within the system. Two options that are widely used include a microcontroller and an FPGA, or a field programmable gate array.

I have been using the Beagle USB 480 Power Protocol Analyzer, which has been perfect for measuring VBUS current and voltage, as well as capturing, filtering, and analyzing USB bus data. However, this tool isn’t suitable for my new project, which includes monitoring the delivery of higher levels of power, up to 4A, via USB-C. Is there an upgrade or another analyzer that I can use to monitor and analyze USB Power Delivery?
