Beagle USB 12 Protocol Analyzer
Whether developing hardware, firmware or software, the Beagle analyzer is an invaluable tool to enable developers to see what is happening on the USB bus.
Thanks to the Beagle analyzer's low cost, every engineer can have his or her own. That means you do not have to schedule time to share your analyzer with other developers. Bottom line, your company saves time, effort and money.

Specs
Non-intrusive USB monitoring
The Beagle monitor is galvanically isolated so it will not affect the system under test and distort the results. Simply attach the Beagle USB 12 inline to passively monitor Full-speed and Low-speed USB devices. It is also possible to monitor High-speed devices by attaching the device through a Full-speed hub.
Nearly Limitless Capture
Captured data is streamed via High-speed USB directly to your computer. The amount of data captured is limited only by the amount of physical memory that is available on the machine.
Bit-Level Timing
Not only can you get timings for an entire packet, it is also possible to get timing for each individual bit in the packet. The Beagle analyzer can return bit-level timing down to 21 ns resolution.
Real-Time Display
See how your device interacts with the USB Host in real-time. Do not waste your time setting up complex triggers to capture data only to discover that the data of interest did not get captured.
With the Beagle USB 12 Protocol Analyzer, you can see the USB packets in real-time. Other analyzers claim to have real time capture, but the Beagle analyzer is the only low-cost analyzer that lets you see USB packets as they are sent over the USB bus in real time.
High-Speed USB 2.0
The Beagle monitor is a bus-powered, High-speed USB 2.0 device. This provides two major benefits. As a high speed device, all the data captured by the Beagle monitor are transfered to the test computer at 480 Mbps. As a low power device, the Beagle monitor does not require a power adapter. This makes the Beagle monitor the ideal tool for engineers in the field. Just plug it into a High-speed USB 2.0 port on your laptop and you are ready to go.

This low price means that it is immediately affordable for a company to provide every developer with their own analyzer.
The benefits of the Beagle analyzer's low cost are:
- Less time wasted because developers do not have to share analyzers or go to the lab to debug simple problems
- Shorter development cycles because developers can identify and fix problems quickly and easily
- Less wasted time means higher productivity

Software
The Beagle Data Center is the free software that is included with the Beagle USB 12 Protocol Analyzer. Everyone is welcome to download this software from the Total Phase website to allow for easy collaboration through the sharing of captured data files.
Features include:
- Interactive filtering by token, packet, address, endpoint, arbitrary data patterns
- Packet and Descriptor decoding
- Real-time data capture and display
Total Phase will be releasing a new version of the Beagle Data Center software in 2009 with many features at no extra charge, including:
- class level decoding
- enhanced timing analysis
- faster filtering
- and more
Rosetta Language Bindings - Development API
The full power of the Beagle analyzer is available for custom software applications through a free and royalty-free API. Developers have access to the same API that is used by the Beagle Data Center. Full functionality is available for automated test suites, production test fixtures, and more.
