The Teledyne LeCroy Mercury T2C and T2P add USB Type-C and Power Delivery 3.0 support to the industry's smallest and most affordable hardware-based USB 2.0 protocol analyzers. The Mercury combines the de-facto standard CATC Trace display, USB class decoding and Power Delivery 3.0 support in an analyzer that fits in a shirt pocket.
View and Understand USB Protocol
Featuring the industry-leading CATC Trace expert analysis software, the Mercury system provides an easy-to-use display that graphically decodes Power Delivery 3.0 protocol, in addition to USB 2.0 protocol traffic. With the Standard or Advanced edition, all protocol layers can be expanded to show the underlying transactions and packets. Tooltips help explain protocol events making it easier for non-experts to identify errors.
Real Time Triggering
Isolating specific protocol events with real time triggering is essential to capturing intermittent problems. The Mercury system provides sophisticated triggering with drag- and-drop selections for PID type, data patterns, standard requests, errors and bus events. The Mercury features up to 512 MB of on-board memory and supports spool-to-disk capture for extended recording.
USB Power Delivery Support
The Mercury system supports USB Type-C and BMC Power Delivery 3.0 with capture and decode of all Power Delivery packets. View all PD negotiations over the CC wire including VDM's, role swaps, and entry/exit from alternate modes. The Mercury T2P provides all the PD support plus Power Tracker for vBUS & vCONN analysis and 512MB recording memory.
Find the Issues Fast
The Mercury system provides many mechanisms to measure and report on USB traffic. The Bus Utilization display shows data, packet length and bus usage by device. Using the Traffic Summary window, users can evaluate statistical reports at a glance or navigate to individual fields. Real time statistics show throughput by endpoint.
The CATC Trace display uses collapsible headers to group all packets that are part of a single transfer.
