Introduction

The LeCroy Voyager M3i™ Protocol Analyzer/Exerciser is a
multifunction verification system for USB development and testing.
It supports both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. The Voyager M3i is
designed to record USB traffic and graphically present the logical
transactions and events. It can also be configured to generate
USB traffic. The Voyager M3i is connected to a laptop or desktop
PC via its USB or Gigabit Ethernet port.

Please see the Readme file on the installation CD for the latest
information on PC requirements and supported operating systems.

The system can monitor traffic between USB 2.0 links using
standard high-speed compliant cables.

If configured for USB 3.0 testing, the system supports monitoring
between SuperSpeed links using USB 3.0 cables or through direct
connection via MMCx-to-SMA coaxial cables.

Note: You must install the software before connecting the

Analyzer to the host machine for the first time.
