Introduction
The USB Analysis Probe module provides a complete
interface between any point on the USB and an
Agilent Logic Analyzer. The Analysis Probe interface
receives the USB serial bit stream and converts it to
an understandable parallel bus that is then acquired
by the logic analyzer.
The USB Analysis Probe is a passive bus monitor
which does not assert any signals on the USB . The
USB signals are received with a USB compliant
transceiver. The power for the Analysis Probe logic
and transceiver is taken from the logic analyzer. Thus
the Analysis Probe does not draw power from the
USB wire.
The USB Analysis Probe software configures all the
logic analyzer menus for compatibility with the USB
Analysis Probe. When the configuration file is loaded
and the analyzer is set to STATE mode, an inverse
assembler is also loaded which decodes USB packets
into easy to read mnemonics.
The USB Analysis Probe also provides access to the
actual USB wire for both digital and analog
measurements. D+, D-, GND, USB Power and the
transceiver outputs of VP, VM, and RCV are also
provided on the test points.

Setting up the
Analyzers installed in
the 16500 mainframe.
The logic analyzer can be configured for USB analysis
by loading the USB configuration file. Loading this file
will load the Universal Serial Bus inverse assembler
and configure your logic analyzer for USB analysis.
1. Install the 16500 USB Analysis Probe Software
for the FS4100 flexible diskette in the disk drive
of the logic analyzer.
2. Configure the menu to “Load” the analyzer with
the appropriate configuration file (see table
below).

166x USB660
16550 USB550
3. Execute the load operation to load the file into
the target logic analyzer. NOTE: Do not select ALL
or SYSTEM as the target of the load operation,
select the logic analyzer that is connected to the
USB Analysis Probe.
Setting up the 167xx
Analyzer
The 16600/16700 requires a special install procedure
to install the FS4100 software. To accomplish this,
insert the diskette labeled 16700/702 Installation disk for the FS4100 into the 16700/702 diskette
drive. From the SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION TOOLS
select INSTALL under SOFTWARE. From the
SOFTWARE INSTALL screen select the FLEXIBLE DISK and APPLY. The package FS4100 will now
appear. Select it and then select INSTALL. This
procedure does not need to be repeated. It only
needs to be done the first time the USB Analysis
Probe is used.
When this has completed restart the logic analysis
session and either invoke the Setup Assistant from
the logic analyzer screen or load the appropriate
configuration file from the
Configs/FuturePlus/FS4100 directory. The Setup
Assistant will guide you in configuring the logic
analyzer. Select FuturePlus from the list on the left of
the Setup Assistant screen and then USB from the list
that then appears. If you prefer to load the
12
configuration file yourself, see table below for a list of
analyzers and corresponding configuration files.
Note: The Logic Analysis System’s Operating System
must be version A.01.40.00 with patches 034 and 035
or higher to be compatible with the software provided
on the installation diskette for the 167xx.
The 1680/90/900 Analyzer is a PC based application
that requires a PC running the Windows OS or a
16900 frame.
Setting up the
1680/90/900 Analyzer
1680/90/900 licensing
Before installing the protocol decoder for the USB
protocol on a PC you must install the Agilent logic
analyzer software. Once the Agilent logic analyzer
software is installed, you can install the FS4100
protocol decoder by placing the CD-ROM disk into the
CD-ROM drive of the target computer or Analyzer and
executing the .exe setup program that is contained on
the disk. The .exe setup file can be executed from
within the File Explorer PC Utility. You must navigate
to the .exe file on the CD-ROM disk and then double
click the .exe file name from within the File Explorer
navigation panel.
The installation procedure does not need to be
repeated. It only needs to be done the first time
the Analysis Probe Adapter is used.
The USB Inverse Assembler is a licensed product that
is locked to a single hard drive. The licensing process
is performed by Agilent. There are instructions on this
process on the SW Entitlement certificate provided
with this product.
Loading 1680/90/900
configuration files
13
When the software has been licensed you should be
ready to load a configuration file. You can access the
configuration files by clicking on the folder that was
placed on the desktop. When you click on the folder it
should open up to display all the configuration files to
choose from. If you put your mouse cursor on the
name of the file a description will appear telling you
what the setup consists of, once you choose the
configuration file that is appropriate for your
configuration the 16900 operating system should
execute. The protocol decoder automatically loads
when the configuration file is loaded. If the decoder
does not load, you may load it by selecting tools from
the menu bar at the top of the screen and select the
decoder from the list.
After loading the configuration file of choice, go into
the format specification of the configuration by
choosing Setup from the menu bar and then selecting
Bus/Signal in the drop down menu. When the format
specification appears press Define Probes at the
bottom of the screen. The Define Probes feature will
describe how to hook the analyzer cards to the
connections on the target. The following figure shows
what the Define Probes screen looks like. The figure
below may differ from your display; this is an example
of how the display looks in general.
Note: In the above picture under Logic analyzer pods, the first
pod goes to the Odd pod and the second goes to the Even pod
of the termination adapter (e.g. Pod B1 goes to odd termination
adapter pod and B2 goes to the even termination adapter pod).
Data that is saved on a 167xx analyzer in fast binary
format, or 16900 analyzer data saved as a *.ala file,
can be imported into the 1680/90/900 environment for
analysis. You can do offline analysis on a PC if you
have the 1680/90/900 operating system installed on
the PC, if you need this software please contact
Agilent.
Offline analysis allows a user to be able to analyze a
trace offline at a PC so it frees up the analyzer for
another person to use the analyzer to capture data.
If you have already used the license that was included
with your package on a 1680/90/900 analyzer and
would like to have the offline analysis feature on a PC
you may buy additional licenses, please contact
FuturePlus sales department.
In order to view decoded data offline, after installing
the 1680/90/900 operating system on a PC, you must
install the FuturePlus software. Please follow the
installation instructions for “Setting up 1680/90/900
analyzer”. Once the FuturePlus software has been
installed and licensed follow these steps to import the
data and view it.
From the desktop, double click on the Agilent logic
analyzer icon. When the application comes up there
15
will be a series of questions, answer the first question
asking which startup option to use, select Continue
Offline. On the analyzer type question, select cancel.
When the application comes all the way up you
should have a blank screen with a menu bar and tool
bar at the top.
For data from a 1680/90/900 analyzer, open the .ala
file using the File, Open menu selections and browse
to the desired .ala file.
For data from a 16700, choose File -> Import from the
menu bar, after selecting import select “yes” when it
asks if the system is ready to import 16700 data.
After clicking “next” you must browse for the fast
binary data file you want to import. Once you have
located the file and clicked start import, the data
should appear in the listing.
After the data has been imported you must load the
protocol decoder before you will see any decoding.
To load the decoder select Tools from the menu bar,
when the drop down menu appears select Inverse
Assembler, then choose the name of the decoder for
your particular product. The figure below is a general
16
picture; please choose the appropriate decoder for
the trace you are working with.
After the decoder has loaded, select Preferences if
required, from the overview screen and set the
preferences to their correct value in order to decode
the trace properly. This is a general requirement,
some decoders do not have preferences, if this is the
case then no preference setting is necessary.
17
The Format Menu
The USB Analysis Probe diskette sets up the format
menu as shown in the following table. This format is
the same for both Timing and State Analysis. Pods 1
and 2 are for STATE analysis and POD 3 is useful for
Timing analysis.
The STAT variable is used by the USB inverse
assembler to decode USB transactions. It should not be changed or deleted from the format menu.
The ADDR variable is the address and endpoint as
decoded from the USB serial bit stream. The DATA
variable is the Data associated with a Data0 or Data1
packet.
For ease of triggering the address and endpoint seen
in the token packets Setup, In and Out are latched by
the USB Analysis Probe and held through the
reporting of the data for the DATA0 and DATA1
packets.
The PID variable
The PID variable describes the PID and various errors
detected by the USB Analysis Probe. This variable is
most effectively used for triggering and are available
to be used in combination with any other variable
defined in the FORMAT menu.

If the FS4100 operating in full speed mode, detects a
valid SE0 for at least 60ns but a valid J_STATE does
not follow, it will do the following.
1. Detect an end of packet (FEOPR TRUE in Timing
mode).
2. Pass the packet up to the logic analyzer.
3. Pass a “ POSSIBLE BAD EOP” status to the
analyzer.
If the FS4100 operating in slow speed mode, detects
a valid SE0 for at least 300ns but a valid J_STATE
does not follow, it will do the following.
1. Detect an end of packet (FEOPR TRUE in Timing
mode).
2. Pass the packet up to the logic analyzer.
22
3. Pass a “POSSIBLE BAD EOP” status to the
Analyzer.
A status of “POSSIBLE BAD EOP” should be treated
as cautionary and the user would be advised to view
the received signals in timing mode by doing the
following.
1. Attach POD 3 of the analyzer to POD 3 of the USB
Analysis Probe.
2. Attach a flying lead set to stake pins RCV, VP and
VM.
3. In state mode trigger on PID “ POSSIBLE BAD

Low Speed/High
Speed detection
The USB Analysis Probe can switch automatically
from high speed to low speed upon the detection of
the Preamble PID. The Analysis Probe then detects
only low speed traffic. Upon the receipt of a low
speed acknowledge or an internal time-out (greater
than 16 low speed bit times). The Analysis Probe will
switch back to high speed. The following explains in
more detail the sequences the Analysis Probe looks
for in making the decision whether to switch from high
speed to low speed and back.
Sequence 1
1. Detection of a PREAMBLE - switch to low speed
2. Look for SETUP or OUT packet in low speed then
switch back to high speed.
3. Look for PREAMBLE - upon detection switch to
low speed.
4. Look for a single DATA packet or handshake or
time-out.
5. On receipt of a DATA packet look for a handshake
or time-out .
6. On receipt of a handshake or the occurrence of a
time-out the pre-processor switches back to high
speed.
23
Sequence 2
1. Detection of a PREAMBLE - switch to low speed
2. Look for IN packet and a following DATA packet
and then switch back to high speed. If a DATA
packet is not received within the time-out period
(18 bit times), the Analysis Probe will switch back
to high speed.
3. In high speed look for PREAMBLE and handshake
If the Analysis Probe is placed on a low speed only
segment the low speed only switch must be placed in
the on position (LED lit). This is because on a low
speed only segment the Host or Hub will not send a
Preamble PID. NOTE: The low speed only switch
need only be placed in the ON position if the
Analysis Probe is placed on a LOW SPEED ONLY
SEGMENT (no high speed traffic present).
If users are on a mixed high speed/low speed
segment and suspect that low speed/high speed USB
specification protocol is not being adhered to, the
following steps should be taken.
1. Acquire USB traffic with the Analysis Probe Low
Speed only switch in the OFF position.
2. Acquire USB traffic with the Analysis Probe Low
Speed Only switch in the ON position.
3. Note any differences and refer to timing mode to
determine any out of specification conditions.

The logic analyzer is now ready for STATE analysis.
Acquiring Data
StateDisplay
The
Touch RUN and as soon as there is activity on the
bus, the logic analyzer will begin to acquire data. The
analyzer will continue to acquire data and will display
the data when the analyzer memory is full, the trigger
specification is TRUE or when you touch STOP.
The logic analyzer will flash “Slow or Missing Clock” if
the USB Analysis Probe provided master clock signal
is not being detected by the logic analyzer. This will
occur if the USB is IDLE or in an extended suspend
state. To accurately determine the state of the USB
refer to the Timing analysis chapter in this manual.
Captured data is as shown in the following figure.
The following figure displays the state listing after
disassembly. The inverse assembler is constructed
so the mnemonic output closely resembles the actual
commands, status conditions, messages and phases
specified in the Universal Serial Bus specification.
Symbols on the PID variable have also been defined
to help aid in analysis. The non-disassembled state
listing displays USB mnemonics in addition to data.
All data, address, endpoint and frame number fields
are displayed in hex.
26
Analysis Probe
related error
messages
The following Analysis Probe related error messages
are reported by the USB inverse assembler.
FAILED TO IDENTIFY PID
This error will be reported by the inverse assembler if
the USB Analysis Probe hardware reports a status
code that is undefined. If this error occurs please
contact the FuturePlus Systems factory.
USB CRC and Serial
Bit Errors
27
By design the USB Analysis Probe will detect and
report CRC and serial bit stuffed errors. The PID
variable chart details the CRC and serial bit stuff
errors detected.
It is a protocol violation to omit the stuffed zero when
the last 6 bits of a packet are ones although the
packet data is correct and complete. The Analysis
Probe may not indicate that a serial stuffed bit error
occurred in this scenario.
The USB Analysis Probe will also detect invalid PIDS,
bad PIDS and SOF tokens sent at slow speed. The
Analysis Probe implements an error summary status
called ANY ERROR, this status will be sent to the
Analyzer if any of the above error conditions is
detected by the Analysis Probe.

• Shadowing the state of the target USB SIE when
that SIE state is unavailable.
• Comparing the state of the target USB SIE with
that of the Analysis Probe SIE.
• Making accurate time measurements of USB
events.
• Accurate USB protocol violation detection.
• Accurate USB signaling violation detection.

for the USB Analysis Probe.
The Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 1.0
The USB Analysis Probe does not draw power from
the USB wire. All power is provided by the logic
analyzer.
166x, 167x, 1655x
USB State Analysis - 2 PODS
USB Timing Analysis - 3 PODS
The USB Analysis Probe supports both full speed and
low speed operation.
The USB Analysis Probe presents one USB
transceiver load onto the USB. The Analysis Probe
IN and OUT connectors (D+, D-, GND and VCC) are
daisy chained so that the USB traffic is not
interrupted.
All signal etch length, trace velocity and impedance is
within specification.
