InstantTiming: A Revolutionary Way of Displaying Timing Information
Introduced June 2006 |
|
Dedicated to making R&D faster and easier, Ellisys had previously
introduced several time-saving features called Instant functions
in the company's analysis software. Since the Wireless USB protocol
includes a complex new timing scheme so that battery-operated devices
could conserve power by shutting off radio circuitry when not needed,
Ellisys understood that developers would need some method of viewing
packet timing and automatically have timing errors detected.
The new InstantTiming™ graphical representation of WiMedia
frame timing enabled users to see traffic sequences, timing allocations
and violations at a glance as well as quickly perform timing measurements
with pan and zoom controls. Customers say that the feature saves them
hours of work and ensures that no important information is missed.
Introduced in June 2006, the new InstantTiming™ view
was supplied free of charge to existing customers as a software update. |

Ellisys WiMedia Explorer 300 Analyzer: The Industry's First Over-the-Air
WiMedia Protocol Analyzer
Introduced September 2005 |
|
Ellisys recognized that developers needed a wireless protocol analysis
tool that could capture traffic over the air – not just MPI (MAC/PHY
Interface) traffic captured from boards via test leads – in order
to create and properly validate products based on new emerging wireless
PAN technologies.
Introduced in the fall of 2005, the WiMedia Explorer 300 Analyzer
was the industry's first protocol analyzer to support WiMedia™ ultra
wideband (UWB) and the USB Implementers Forum's Wireless
USB standards by recording traffic exchanged over the air between devices
through its external antenna. This is the preferred way to assess a
device's true wireless behavior, and after seeing the WiMedia Explorer 300 Analyzer
in action, developers quickly realized that an over-the-air protocol
analyzer is an absolute must for WiMedia and Wireless USB development. |

USB Explorer 200
Professional Edition: In-the-blink-of-an-eye Class Decoding
Introduced January 2005 |
|
Ellisys continued to develop additional features for the new USB Explorer 200
analyzer, frequently in response to customer suggestions. Although the
Professional Edition is often perceived simply as a cost-effective
bundle of an analyzer with all the options, the USB Explorer 200
Professional also added a Hardware Trigger. The trigger can launch various
actions when external events occur or when a specific sequence of events
is detected.
Included in the bundle is Ellisys' comprehensive USB Classes
Decodes, which uses USB Bus Emulation for automatic class detection.
Class packets are decoded and verified with an unequalled degree of
accuracy, and displayed using views designed for each specific class
for “in the blink of an eye" debugging. Ellisys supports
the entire range of USB classes, including Audio, Mass Storage, Communication,
Human Interface Device, Still Image, Printer, Bluetooth® HCI, Video,
Device Firmware Upgrade and Hub.
The Data Export option and Software Development Kit (SDK) are also
included in the Professional Edition to meet the requirements
of even the most demanding developer. |

Visual USB: A New Approach to USB Analysis Software
Introduced December 2002 |
|
The release of the USB Tracker 110 marked the debut of
Visual USB, the Ellisys analysis software. The company's goal for
Visual USB was to make USB protocol analysis as fast and easy for developers
as possible. This required a new approach, and Ellisys introduced many
new concepts including:
- Capturing and transmitting data in real-time, instead of filling
a hardware memory and then wait until it is downloaded;
- Offering user-selected panes so users could customize their displays
to see what they need all at once;
- Avoiding “screen clutter” by automatically hiding less-frequently
used fields that can be revealed with a click;
- Using a raw-data pane to display highlighted bytes of fields selected
in other windows;
- Grouping consecutive elements;
- Coloring packets according to specific criteria;
- Providing easy-to-use InstantFilters™ that can quickly narrow
down large captures to just the traffic of interest;
- Allowing developers to insert live user comments.

USB Tracker 110: Industry's First Inexpensive USB Protocol
Analyzer
Introduced December 2002 |
|
Ellisys' first product, the USB Tracker 110 was two
years in development and challenged many of the usual assumptions of
Test and Measurement vendors. As a very cost-effective analyzer,
the USB Tracker 110 included easy-to-use analysis software
for Microsoft Windows that helped shorten a software developer's
learning curve. This in turn helped manufacturers introduce new products
incorporating USB interfaces.
The USB Tracker 110 transferred all data from the USB link
under test to a PC in real time. Ellisys analysis software decoded
the data and displayed a clear interpretation; relevant information
was instantly made available while rarely-used fields were hidden but
easily revealed. Users were able to view the protocol in detail through
several levels of abstraction.
Small, portable, and self-powered, the USB Tracker 110 also
freed up engineers to work offsite. Engineers only needed to plug the
analyzer into a laptop PC. And the analyzer's low-cost eliminated
the need for engineers to share test equipment.
The USB Tracker 110 quickly gained popularity due to its
combination of functionality and value. Today the USB Tracker 110
is still sold and offered at attractive academic pricing. |
