Description
The versatile Beagle I2C/SPI/MDIO Protocol Analyzer is the ideal tool for embedded software engineers developing I2C, SPI or MDIO based products. The Beagle Analyzer is a high performance monitoring solution in a compact, portable device.
Main properties
- Monitor I2C non-intrusively up to 4MHz
- Non-intrusive monitoring of SPI up to 24MHz †
- Non-intrusive monitoring of MDIO up to 2.5MHz (Clause 22 and Clause 45) ‡
- Real-time data acquisition and display - observe I2C and SPI packets as they occur on the bus.
- Bit-level timing with up to 20 ns resolution.
- Fully compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac OS X
- Includes full feature monitoring tools
High speed USB 2.0
The Beagle Monitor is a bus-powered, high-speed USB 2.0 device. As a high-speed device, all data captured by the Beagle monitor is transmitted to the test computer at 480 Mbit/s. As a bus-powered device, the Beagle monitor requires no power supply, making it the ideal tool for engineers.Non-invasive and limitless capture
The Beagle analyzer has high-impedance inputs, so it does not affect the system under test and does not falsify the results. Connect the Beagle I2C/SPI analyzer inline to passively capture traffic to target devices. Captured data is streamed directly to your computer via high-speed USB. The amount of data collected is only limited by the amount of physical memory available on the computer.Cost-efficient and time-saving
The Beagle I2C/SPI Protocol Analyzer comes complete with software in single piece quantities. The low cost allows companies to provide each developer with their own analyzer, so problems can be identified and fixed quickly and easily. Less time means more productivity, projects are completed on time and on budget.Available software
Data Center
Data Center™ software is free bus monitor software that collects and displays USB, USB Type-C Power Delivery, I2C, SPI, eSPI, and CAN bus data about the hardware logs. The Data Center is the only log analysis software with real-time performance and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
Labview Treiber
The Beagle LabVIEW Driver is a free, open-source LabVIEW instrument driver for accessing the Beagle I2C/SPI Protocol Analyzer within the LabVIEW development environment. The driver package is Windows oriented and based on the Aardvark software library.
API's
The Beagle I2C/SPI Protocol Analyzer has a comprehensive API for Rosetta language bindings - 32-bit and 64-bit software API C, C#, Python 2/3, .NET, VB.NET and VB6. The Labview drivers provide all of the functionality normally available to a C language developer. Windows 10, 11, Max OS X 10 - 11, Ubunto, Fedora, SuSE and Red Hat are supported.
