1. Device Under Test Figure 3 Connecting only one Device Under Test To prevent problems which could arise from your cables length please follow the following instructions The blue cable must be no longer than 5 meters The total length of the red and black cables must not exceed 3 meters A greater length could result in an abnormally high error rate on the bus being analyzed USB Tracker 110 User s manual Page 7 of 17 ellisys Version 2 0 3 February 13 2006 Connecting more than one Device Under Test USB analyzers are able to analyze traffic coming only from devices connected under them If a device is connected above the analyzer it will only register data packets coming from the host The Figure 4 shows an incorrect connection the USB mouse is connected above the analyzer Test computer Analysis computer SS USB Tracker 110 Device Under Test Figure 4 Wrong connection with more than one DUT When the analyzer is used to analyze multiple devices this analysis must necessarily involve a USB hub In this way you can ensure that all the devices to be analyzed are in fact below the analyzer You should be aware however that the analyzer will record all hub and devices traffic Though it could result in a large amount of data this won t cause inconvenience because the software s functions can filter out extra traffic very easily Figure 5 illustrates how to2. Test computer Analysis computer SA USB Tracker 110 Figure 1 Configuration with two computers Configuration with only one computer It is possible to use just one computer for both testing and analysis but this option is not recommended see Figure 2 This configuration can only be used when the available computer is very powerful and when the device under test requires little processing power You must however ensure that two or more host controllers are available on the computer If there is only one host controller on your computer buy a CardBus or PCI extension card available on the market Please refer to the chapter on Troubleshooting to determine if your computer has two host controllers The following diagram shows how to use the analyzer with only one computer Test and Analysis computer HC1 HC2 USB Tracker 110 Figure 2 Configuration with only one computer Although this particular configuration can work for most peripherals under test we actually highly recommend a configuration involving two computers USB Tracker 110 User s manual Page 6 of 17 ellisys Version 2 0 3 February 13 2006 Connecting a device for analysis Connecting only one Device Under Test The most straightforward configuration involves only one device to be analyzed Figure 3 shows how to properly connect the device under test Test computer Analysis computer SA USB Tracker 110
