Teledyne LeCroy Mercury T2 USB 2.0 Standard Analyzer (USB-TMS2-M01-X)

The Mercury T2 Standard USB Protocol Analyzer (USB-TMS2-M02-X) is a small and affordable hardware-based USB protocol analyzer. It is the industry’s first ultra-portable, hardware-based, USB and Power Delivery protocol analyzer. It combines the de-facto standard CATC Trace™ display, comprehensive USB class decoding, and PD 2.0 protocol analysis. The pocket-sized, bus-powered Mercury T2 sits in-line between host and device and provides transparent capture of all USB transactions. 

Upgrades for the USB-TMS2-M01-X include: BMC Power Delivery, Export to CSV, Automation API, Verification Script Engine.

Within minutes of installing the Windows PC-compatible software, users will be viewing USB traffic from the lowest packet layer to the fully decoded class level operations. With event triggering, and real time spool-to-disk capture, the T2 has advanced capabilities that reduce time to market for USB systems and software. It graphically decodes logical protocol events to show the underlying transactions and packets. Decoding of upper level transactions allows users see logical protocol events within the trace, eliminating the manual decoding of device-specific commands. 

The Mercury T2 includes hardware-based event triggering, 256MB of memory, and spool-to-disk capture for extended recording. It includes cables to interface directly with USB 2.0 devices.

The compact Mercury T2 supports the USB and Power Delivery 2.0 standards which bring entirely new USB cables and connectors to improve overall user experience. USB defines a smaller sized, reversible connector that is capable of supporting scalable, bi-directional power charging at up to 100W. The Mercury T2 supports capture and decoding of all packets over the new USB Configuration Channel (CC). These new CC packets include negotiation of USB current capabilities and entrance to or exit from Alternate Modes. The Mercury T2 analyzer’s adapters allow the Mercury T2 to operate with older devices and hosts too, creating an analyzer which is both backward-compatible and future-safe. 

The Mercury T2 and Power Delivery Protocol Analyzer provides the USB development world with extensive levels of capability for test, validation and compliance of the emerging USB standards. It is available in versions with USB 2.0 only, USB PD only, or both USB and PD analysis.
