The Teledyne LeCroy Mercury T2C adds USB Type-C and Power Delivery 3.0 support to the industry’s smallest and most affordable hardware-based USB 2.0 protocol analysers. The Mercury combines the de-facto standard CATC Trace™ display, USB class decoding and Power Delivery 3.0 support in an analyser 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.

Isolating specific protocol events with real time triggering is essential to capturing intermittent problems. The Mercury system provides sophisticated triggering with dragand-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-diskcapture for extended recording.

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.

The Mercury system provides many mechanisms to measure and report on USB traffic. The Bus Utilization display showsdata, 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.
