Expedite Development Of Usb Hardware Or Software With Usb Monitor
By Vasiliy Vasilyev
Whether you are developing or reverse-engineering a USB device, programming an application with USB communication, or simply analyzing data sent and received via USB interface, USB Monitor by HHD will expedite your project saving time and expense.
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) has become the most popular device communication interface in modern computers. All external devices that used serial or parallel interfaces in the past, such as printers, scanners, modems, even mice and keyboards, are now employing USB due to its vast superiority over the legacy interfaces. Many new classes of devices emerged in recent years because of widespread availability of the highly versatile, high-speed USB interface. USB provides multiple benefits to the end user, including hot-plugging and automatic device detection by the host PC, superior transfer speeds, and easy expandability with external USB hubs should the need for more USB ports arise.
Enhanced USB capabilities for end users mean much greater complexity for developers. All USB devices must respond to a certain set of commands with standardized responses in real time. Monitoring and capturing the data was easily achieved with simple hardware in the days of serial and parallel ports; with USB it is not an easy task anymore, as all transmissions are encoded. Testing and debugging USB devices requires additional tools that are able to capture and translate USB data into meaningful output.
USB Monitor by HHD (http://www.hhdsoftware.com) is capable of conveniently capturing and analyzing data transferred between a Windows PC and a USB device of any class.
If you ever created a program more complex than the famous 'Hello, World!' you most certainly know the importance of debugging. Bugs are inevitable in any complex project, be it or hardware. USB hardware is no exception.
Software developers are lucky enough to have a wide variety of source code debugging tools available on the market, no matter what programming language they use. Hardware developers often use specialized devices and expensive in order to test and debug their products. One important thing that all of these tools lack is source code debugging.
