Ellisys announces new USB device test suite to be demonstrated at USB-IF Compliance Workshop in Portland, April 28 to May 2
USB Device Examiner software package add-on for Ellisys USB protocol test system automatically verifies device conformance to the USB 2.0 specification
Geneva, Switzerland -- April 25, 2008 -- Ellisys, a leading supplier of test
solutions for USB, Wireless USB and the WiMedia platform, today announced the Ellisys USB
Device Examiner™, an add-on software package for its popular USB Explorer
line of protocol tools. Device Examiner will be utilized at the USB-IF Compliance
Workshop to be held in Portland, Oregon from April 28 to May 2. Ellisys will
host a suite where participants will have the opportunity to pre-test their
USB 2.0 and Wireless USB products.
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.
Says Mario Pasquali, Ellisys Co-Founder and President for Products, “Device
Examiner responds to the customer need for a simple and reliable setup to test
device conformance to the USB 2.0 specification. The software uses the USB Explorer
260's specialized hardware, which enables tests that were not conceivable
with conventional approaches.”
Availability & Pricing
Device Examiner is a standard feature, included at no additional charge
with the Ellisys USB Explorer 260 Generator and the Ellisys USB Explorer
260 Duo. The Ellisys USB Explorer 260, pre-configured as either a protocol
analyzer or exerciser, is available with an order lead time of two weeks.
The Ellisys USB Explorer 260 Duo is a flexible bundle of two units that can
be used as one analyzer and one generator, two protocol analyzers or two
packet generators depending on your testing requirements. More convenient
than having both functions on the same unit, this setup allows better sharing
of resources and more test flexibility in a team or company.
