UNI-T MSO8000HD-USB2 Analysis Features

Protocol-Aware Search and Navigation

Rapidly locate specific packet types, addresses, endpoints, or data patterns within long acquisitions. The hardware-accelerated search engine allows engineers to quickly navigate through hours of captured USB traffic to find relevant protocol events in seconds rather than minutes.

Multi-Level Protocol Views

Analyze USB communications at different abstraction levels from raw bits to complete transactions. The hierarchical display presents packet structures with expandable fields, enabling both high-level overview and detailed protocol inspection within the same interface.

Time-Correlated Waveform Analysis

Synchronize protocol decoding with analog waveform displays to correlate electrical signal quality issues with protocol-level problems. This integrated view helps identify the root cause of communication failures that might be missed with standalone protocol analyzers.

Statistical Analysis Tools

Evaluate USB performance metrics including data throughput, bus utilization, error rates, and transaction latencies. These quantitative measurements help engineers optimize device performance and identify potential bottlenecks in USB implementations.

Professional Applications

USB Device Development

Accelerate USB peripheral development by validating both physical layer signals and protocol behavior simultaneously. Verify proper enumeration sequences, control transfers, and endpoint configurations during the prototype phase to minimize redesign cycles.

USB Host Controller Debugging

Diagnose host controller issues by monitoring transaction sequences, timing relationships, and protocol compliance. Identify driver inefficiencies and improper protocol implementations that affect system performance and reliability.

System Integration Troubleshooting

Resolve USB interface issues during system integration by analyzing device interactions, bandwidth utilization, and error responses. The comprehensive protocol decoding capabilities enable rapid identification of compatibility issues between components.

Manufacturing Test Validation

Implement production-line validation of USB functionality with automated pass/fail criteria based on protocol compliance. The MSO8000HD's high waveform capture rate enables efficient testing of multiple devices with consistent evaluation standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What probes are recommended for USB 2.0 signal analysis?

For optimal USB 2.0 signal integrity, we recommend UNI-T differential active probes for D+/D- signal acquisition. Single-ended passive probes can be used for Low-Speed and Full-Speed analysis, but differential probes are strongly recommended for High-Speed (480 Mbps) measurements to maintain signal fidelity.

Can I trigger on specific USB devices or endpoints?

Yes, the MSO8000HD-USB2 option provides comprehensive triggering capabilities based on device addresses and endpoints. You can configure triggers to isolate communications with specific USB devices (by address) and even target specific endpoints within those devices for focused analysis.

Does this option include USB compliance testing?

The MSO8000HD-USB2 option focuses on protocol analysis and debugging. For formal USB-IF compliance testing, we recommend adding the complementary MSO8000HD-CTSUSB20 option, which provides automated compliance test suites according to USB-IF specifications.

How does this option differ from the MSO8000HD-CTSUSB20 option?

The MSO8000HD-USB2 option provides protocol decoding, triggering, and analysis capabilities for debugging USB communications. The MSO8000HD-CTSUSB20 option focuses on automated compliance testing according to USB-IF test specifications. Many professionals use both options together for comprehensive development and certification.

What is the maximum duration of USB traffic I can capture and decode?

The maximum capture duration depends on your oscilloscope's memory depth and the USB data rate. With the standard 1Gpts memory, you can capture approximately 10ms of continuous High-Speed USB traffic (480 Mbps). Adding the MSO8000HD-MD2G memory depth option doubles this capture time to about 20ms.

Can I use this option to analyze USB Power Delivery (PD) protocols?

No, this option specifically focuses on USB 2.0 data protocols. USB Power Delivery uses a separate communication channel over the CC lines that requires different analysis capabilities. Please contact UNI-T for information about USB PD analysis solutions.

Is this option included in any bundle packages?

Yes, comprehensive protocol analysis including USB2.0 is included in the MSO8000HD-BND Protocol Analysis & Jitter Suite. The bundle provides 15 protocol analysis options plus advanced jitter analysis at a single price of $5,399 - saving 66% compared to purchasing options individually. As with all UNI-T software options, the bundle features a perpetual license with zero recurring fees, providing lifetime access without subscription costs that can save $10,000+ over the instrument's lifetime.
