Ellisys, a leading supplier of test solutions for USB, Wireless USB and the WiMedia platform, today announced the EllisysUSB Device Examiner™, an add-on software package for its popular USB Explorer line of protocol tools.
The Device Examiner software verifies that a USB device under test complies with Chapter 9 of the USB 2.0 specification, and where applicable, the Hub, HID, and Mass Storage standard classes.
Used with an Ellisys USB Explorer 260 Generator, Device Examiner automatically discovers the USB device under test connected to the generator and displays information about it. The device’s class is detected and tests pertinent to that class are automatically loaded. Device Examiner software then executes a suite of tests, monitors the resulting interactions, and generates a report detailing the pass/fail results of each individual test.
Optionally, Device Examiner can also control an Ellisys 260 protocol analyzer unit to record a trace of every executed test, in case debugging may be required. If there are errors, the detected issues can be easily debugged using the analyzer’s extensive capabilities to examine the traces captured during testing. Device Examiner’s convenient “Run Failures” feature accelerates the process of re-testing after fixing bugs, by re-running only failed tests.
The Mass Storage class checker also performs read and write performance tests at the maximum possible USB throughput. This is achieved with the highly optimized hardware implementation of the USB Explorer 260 packet generator.
