Troubleshooting embedded hardware and firmware efficiently relies on having complete visibility into your electrical signals and digital data packets. The USBee Suite software by CWAV, Inc. accelerates embedded design troubleshooting by leveraging PC resources to capture, stream, and analyze huge volumes of data simultaneously.
When paired with a compatible hardware Test Pod (such as the USBee AX, DX, or RX), the software transforms your computer into a multi-purpose Test Bench. It functions as a Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO), Logic Analyzer, and Protocol Decoder all within a single application. ⏱️ How USBee Software Accelerates Debugging
Traditional standalone oscilloscopes and logic analyzers are often bottlenecked by limited internal hardware memory. The USBee software completely bypasses this limitation to drastically cut down debugging time using several key strategies:
Massive “Bufferless” Captures: Instead of relying on a tiny memory chip inside the test device, the software streams samples directly over a High-Speed USB 2.0 bus straight to your PC’s RAM. This permits deep sample captures spanning hundreds of millions of samples, letting you record long sequences of operations to catch rare, intermittent bugs.
In-Line Graphical Protocol Decoding: You don’t need to count clock pulses manually to decipher data. The software decodes serial bus traffic inline, superimposing data packets right over the raw waveforms. Moving your cursor over the decoded bytes reveals a see-through image of the exact voltage transitions that formed that data.
Lightning-Fast Navigation: Finding a specific glitch in a sea of millions of data points can feel like hunting for a needle in a haystack. Features like the Overview Bar and Scroll Wheel Quick Zoom let you instantly zip through massive files or hone in closely on a specific clock cycle.
32-Level Smart Search: The software features a multi-tiered search system. Instead of scrolling through code line by line, you can set complex, conditional parameters to search your captured waveform for precise byte combinations or bus errors automatically. 📊 Supported Protocols & Built-In Instruments
The software acts as an integrated command center, eliminating the need to clutter your desk or swap between separate physical boxes. Supported Communication Standards
