SMBus Electrical Validation and Protocol Decode Software

SMBus Electrical Validation and Protocol Decode Software

SMBus Electrical Validation and Protocol Decode Software offers electrical measurements and testing and protocol decoding as specified in the SMBus specification (version 3.2). PGY-SMBus Electrical validation and Protocol decode software runs in Tektronix Oscilloscope and provides electrical measurements and protocol decode at the click of a button. This allows engineers quickly check for SMBus conformance and flexibility to debug the failure. In addition to this, engineers can decode the command and response of SMBus to debug the communication. 

PGY-SMBus takes advantage of digital channels of MSO and provides the decoding of SMBus data lines.

Application Notes

Key features

  • Automated electrical measurements as specified in version 3.2 of SMBus specification documentation.
  • Supports electrical measurement for 100KHz, 400KHz, and 1MHz speed with limit comparison.
  • Decodes SMBus signals of different speeds for easy understanding of the protocol.
  • Links the protocol content to the electrical signal in the oscilloscope for easy understanding of the electrical characteristics of the SMBus protocol.
  • Overlays the protocol data on the analog waveform in a bus diagram window.
  • Zooms the selected SMBus packet content in the decode table in the bus diagram display for easy analysis of the electrical characteristics of the SMBus frame.
  • Color codes protocol content for easy analysis. (e.g. SMBCLK, SMBDAT, Address, Data, ACK,etc.)
  • Search capabilities to locate unique events in thousands of protocol data.
  • Ability to view protocol and decoded data in hexadecimal, decimal, binary, octal, and ASCII formats.
  • Ability to store the SMBus protocol data in CSV and text format.
  • Utility features zoom, undo, and fit the screen for easy debugging while correlating the protocol data to the waveform.
  • Report generation in PDF format. Option to include Configuration, Electrical parameters measured, saved images, Protocol listing in the report.
  • Supports .wfm (Tektronix)  .trc (LeCroy)and .H5 (Keysight)  file format for offline analysis.
SMBus Electrical Validation and Protocol Decode Software

Seamless Integration with Oscilloscope

PGY-SMBus runs inside the Tektronix oscilloscopes and makes the electrical measurements, decodes protocols, and displays the decoded data in a bus diagram, a table, and links the decoded data to the electrical signal in the bus diagram.
