Advanced triggering added to I2C bus analyzers

The new advanced trigger also features trigger on I2C protocol conditions, including transaction type, data or address value, protocol errors, and more. State-based definition and logical operations allow triggering on consecutive and non-consecutive events and combining multiple conditions for multi-level triggering, respectively.

Ryan Jones, Senior Technical Marketing Engineer at Corelis, comments: “The advanced trigger functionality adds immense value to the already feature-rich CAS-1000-I2C/E and BusPro-I bus analyzers. Logical, state-based trigger systems this advanced are usually reserved for very high-end test equipment. We are offering this capability to new and existing Corelis bus analyzer owners at no additional charge.”

With a single instrument, the I2C Exerciser software enables users to simultaneously generate I2C traffic, non-intrusively monitor and record all I2C bus traffic, and display real-time data in both state and waveform timing windows. With the advanced trigger, users can pinpoint complex sequences, while a virtually limitless trace buffer means that data can be continuously collected and analyzed over days, weeks, or even months until the trigger conditions are met. The I2C Exerciser also features master and slave emulation, I2C signal parametric measurements, and a scripting language to control test sequences.

The new software upgrade is available free to registered owners of the Corelis BusPro-Iand CAS-1000-I2C/E products. A trial version of the software is also available to new users by registering on the Corelis website.
