GENEVA -- 04/25/08 --
Ellisys, a leading supplier of test solutions for
USB, Wireless USB and the WiMedia platform, today announced the Ellisys USB
Device Examiner(TM), 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.
-- USB Explorer 260 Analyzer: USD 6,999.00
-- USB Explorer 260 Generator: USD 8,999.00
-- USB Explorer 260 Duo: USD 14,999.00
