1. Overview

This Read Me file contains last-minute product information for the USB Protocol Suite™ software for Microsoft

Windows. For full instructions on using the software and the hardware, please see the User's Manual and other documents provided with this product.

Important Note: Please uninstall all older CATC/LeCroy USB software (USBTracer, USBAdvisor and

USBMobileHS)

b

efore installing USB Protocol Suite. The older applications are NOT compatible with the new software and device drivers. Traces recorded with the older software can be loaded in the new USB Protocol

Suite software. It automatically converts the traces to the new file format (the original file will remain).

2. System Requirements

The following is a list of recommendations for the configuration of the host machine that runs the USB Protocol

Suite application and that is connected to the analyzer/exerciser hardware. Please note that the application would operate on systems with less memory and slower CPU rate than the recommended; however, for best results it is recommended that the host machine meets or exceeds the suggested configuration.

2.1.

Software

Operating System (Voyager, USBTracer/Trainer, Advisor):

Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista 32, Windows Vista 64, Windows 7 (32-bit), Windows 7 (64-bit)

Operating System (USBMobileHS, USBMobile T2):

Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista 32, Windows 7 (32-bit)

Required setup:

Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 7 or newer.

Note to USBTracer/Trainer users:

Please disable the function: "Allow the Computer to turn off this device to save power." This can be disabled in the

My Computer Properties (System Properties) window under the Hardware Tab. To do so, go to ‘Device Manager’

> ‘Universal Serial Bus Controllers’ > ‘USB Hubs’. Find the Hub that corresponds to the analyzer/exerciser.

Double-click it to show the Properties dialog. Select the Power Management tab. Uncheck “Allow the Computer to turn off this device to save power." If this feature is enabled (checked), it may cause the analyzer/exerciser to hang after a firmware or BusEngine update. If you do not want to change this attribute, you can instead re-enable the port by power-cycling your computer.

2.2.

Hardware

Processor:

For optimum performance, use processors of Intel's I7, or other compatible processors with clock speed of 2GHz or higher. Minimum

Processor requirement is Pentium 4 family.

Memory:

For the best performance, it is recommended to have physical RAM twice the size of the recording buffer setup –

2GB or more (minimum of 512MB of RAM).

Hard Disk:

At least 400MB of free hard disk space is required for the installation. Additional disk space is needed for the operation of the applications and for storing the recorded data in files during the recordings process (can be as much as 4GB when recording a full buffer size).

Display:

Resolution of at least 1280 x 1024 with at least 16-bit color depth is recommended (resolution of 1024 × 800 with

16-bit color is a minimum).

Connectivity:

Voyager M3 & M3i support USB 2.0 Hi-Speed and 10/100/1000 Ethernet host interfaces. USB 2.0 Full-Speed host interfaces are not supported on Voyager M3 nor M3i. For Ethernet host interfaces, both DHCP and Static IP configurations are supported; however, Static IP configuration requires a USB 2.0 connection for first time IP address configuration.

USBTracer/Trainer supports USB 2.0 Hi-Speed or Full-Speed host interfaces.

Advisor supports USB 2.0 Full-Speed host interfaces.

USBMobileHS and USBMobile T2 support PCMCIA interfaces. ExpressCard is NOT supported. For an

ExpressCard-to-PCMCIA adapter solution for Vista – 32 bit and Win 7 – 32 bit systems, contact [email protected].

No specific hardware is required to view pre-recorded traces.

Note: CRC Error injection for Exerciser

The following information was added too late to make the release of the Manual

The definition for the second Dword of the PipeCommandData (described on page 55 of the Voyager USB 3.0

Exerciser Generation Script Language Reference Manual) has been extended. The modifications are below in bold.

#Dword 2

StreamID : 16

ForceSeq : 1 = 0 # Special bit, to force the sequential processing of this Pipe Command

BrkOnNRDY : 1 = 0 # Special bit, to force break on NRDY for this Pipe Command

BrkImmed : 1 = 0 # Special bit, to force break immideately for this Pipe Command

Crc32Err : 1 = 0 # Special bit, to force CRC32 error for the first Data Packet for this Pipe Command

Rsvd4 : 7 = 0

PP : 1 = 0

Rsvd5 : 4 = 0

The Crc32Err bit has been added allowing for generation of a CRC32 error. A CRC32 error will be injected in the first data packet sent by this pipe command.

An example of the usage (sending a USB device request with CRC error):

Example:

SendPipeCommand( PIPE_CMD_WRITE_DATA, PIPE_TYPE_CONTROL, 8, 1, SB_USER_DEFINED, 1 )

{

PipeCommandData

{

DevAddr = 0

Endp = 0

Data = $RequestPayload

Crc32Err = 1 # will send the data packet with CRC32 error and retry it properly when it is not acknowledged by the device

}

}

General

• Voyager M3 may not work correctly if connected over Ethernet and USB at the same time. Please use only one type of interface.

• Errors may appear in the last couple of packets of a recording which are not real errors. They are a side effect of the recording terminated during the middle of a packet. Also, the first packet in a trace may be a partial one.

• In USB 2.0 Auto Speed Detect mode, the first few (up to ~20) packets may have errors on a high speed trace due to bouncing of the speed selection relay. These packets should be ignored.

• The External Trigger Out signal level is forced low at the beginning of each recording. This might cause false triggers on externally attached equipment.

• For USB 3.0 traffic capture, in some cases the analyzer might not correctly lock to the 5Gbps signals on power up, or it may lose lock after a long period of usage. If this occurs, you may issue a soft reset to the capture engine by selecting “Record | Reset SuperSpeed Capture Engine” from the menu. After performing this reset, you will have to retrain the link on your devices.

• The “Auto RxDetect” mode is designed to recognize 3.0 hosts and devices and present 3.0 terminations to them when they are both plugged in. In some cases, the timing is such that the Host and Device go into USB

2.0 mode, or don’t connect. If this occurs, try doing a Disconnect/Reconnect cycle of VBus by hitting the

“Momentary Disconnect” button on the toolbar. In other cases, you will have to disable then re-enable the xHCI Host controller driver in the Windows 7 Device Manager of your PDK.

• Important note: Windows Vista and Windows 7 user editable files (Automation, Samples, Scripts, etc.) are stored in:

<drive letter>:\Users\Public\Documents\LeCroy\USB Protocol Suite\

This is due to those Operating Systems’ policy that the Program Files (application) folders are read-only.

Those files and folders are

Stored in the application folder on Windows XP.

3.3.

API

Automation:

• There are several sample projects included with the application. To run them, you should make sure that the

USB Protocol Suite application is already installed.

• The library file name to be used is: USBAutomation.tlb.

• HTML Sample:

• For editing the HTML sample code you can use a text editor or other HTML-editing tools.

• CPP sample:

1. To compile the Visual C++ sample project you first need to install the Microsoft Visual Studio.

2. You can select to install the USB Protocol Suite software in a directory different than the default one. If you choose to do so, make sure you add a path to the installation directory in your project’s paths list. You can find the USBAutomation.tlb file in the installation directory. When using Microsoft Visual Studio, the path to the installation directory should be added to the following places in the ‘Project Settings’ property sheet:

(1) Under ‘C/C++’ tab, ‘Preprocessor’ category in the ‘Additional include directories’.

(2) Under ‘Resources’ tab, in the ‘Additional resource include directories’.

• When a remote server is disconnected abruptly while a client application is still connected, the client application might hang up for several minutes. At the end of this timeout, the client would be released with a

“The RPC server unavailable” notification. This is due to Windows conduct.
