About the Data Center Software

The Data Center Software is the industry's only protocol analysis software offering true real-time performance and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. The bus monitoring software provides user-friendly features and displays, and captures USB, I2C, and SPI data in real-time with the Beagle™ line of hardware protocol analyzers. This year, Total Phase overhauled the Data Center software, adding advanced new features including: real-time USB class-level decoding, expanded real-time data filtering, intuitive hierarchical data packet grouping, instant multilingual support, UNIX-style command line interface, and many others.
