The Teledyne LeCroy USB-TMA2-M01-X Mercury T2 is a hardware-based USB 2.0 protocol analyzer delivering lab-grade traffic capture and analysis in a portable, bus-powered package. Built on the industry-standard CATC Trace analysis platform, this system enables engineers to isolate, decode, and troubleshoot USB device and system designs with advanced triggering, real-time statistics, and comprehensive protocol class decoding.
Technical Specifications
Protocol Support
• USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 compliance across Low Speed (LS), Full Speed (FS), and High Speed (HS)
• USB On-The-Go (OTG) capture including Host Negotiation Protocol (HNP) and Session Request Protocol (SRP) events
• VBus and data line pulse monitoring
Memory & Recording
• 256 MB on-board recording memory
• Spool-to-disk capture for extended sessions spanning hours or days
• Hardware-based traffic filtering to reduce non-essential data
Analysis & Triggering
