Beagle USB 480 Real-time capture
The Beagle™USB 480 analyser has two different capture modes, real-time capture and delayed download capture. Real-time mode allows you to see all the high-speed data transfer as it happens over a USB. The capture size in real-time mode is virtually infinite and is only limited by the RAM available on the computer used for analysis.The delayed-download mode is designed for cases when the Beagle™ USB 480 and the target device, both are connected on the same high-speed bus. The Beagle™ analyser consumes very less USB bandwidth in this case and thus does not hampers the operation of the target device.
USB Class-Level Decoding
Real-time USB class-level decoding in the Data Center Software is available with the Beagle™ USB 480 Protocol Analyser.
High-Speed USB Chirp Detection
The Beagle™ USB 480 analyser features an integrated 64Mb buffer that stores all the information of the traffic. It has high transfer speeds of up to 480Mbps and also features high-speed USB chirp detection that allows this analyser to capture and display the K and J chirp patterns used in high-speed speed negotiations.
Automatic Speed Detection
The Beagle™ USB 480 Protocol Analyser is able to robustly and reliably detect the correct speed of the USB data it is monitoring.
Delayed Download Mode
The delayed-download mode is designed for cases when the Beagle™ USB 480 and the target device are both connected on the same high-speed bus. The Beagle™ analyser consumes very less USB bandwidth in this case and thus does not hamper the operation of the target device.
Hardware-based Packet Suppression
A hardware input filter is available to suppress packets in order to reduce the amount of data captured. The filter can remove empty packet pairs such as IN/NAK and PING/NAK pairs.
Digital I/O for Synchronizing
For easy identification of problems, the Beagle™ USB 480 comes with four digital inputs, which allow you capture USB data from the target device, along with additional hardware events.
The four digital outputs available on the analyzer match the pattern captured data along with idle bus states.
Detect Bus Events and Unexpected Signals
The Beagle™ USB 480 Protocol Analyser can intelligently detect suspend and resume events as well as unexpected signals on the bus.
Packet-Level Timing
Get packet-level timing with 16.67 ns resolution.
Low Cost
The Beagle™ USB 480 Protocol Analyser comes complete with Data Center Software.
The low cost makes it affordable for a company to provide every developer with their own analyser. The benefits of every developer having their own analyser are: .
- Less time wasted because developers do not have to share analysers or go to the lab to debug simple problems.
- Less wasted time means higher productivity because developers can identify and fix problems quickly and easily with less down-time.
- Higher productivity means shorter development cycles. Projects get done on time and on budget.
By saving a day of engineering time, the Beagle™USB 480 analyser will have paid for itself. .
Future-Proof
Once you have started working with the Beagle™ USB 480, you do not have to worry about it getting outdated due to old firmware and compatibility concerns. This analyser is field upgradeable via the USB connection and for software and firmware upgrades, leaving you tension-free about falling back with latest software features.

-
What advanced features are available with the Beagle USB 480 Power variants?
The Beagle USB 480 Power Protocol Analyzer variants add VBUS current and voltage monitoring capabilities to the standard protocol analysis features. The Power Standard Edition (TP323510) includes real-time graphing of VBUS current and voltage values with interactive correlation to USB data. The Ultimate Edition (TP323610) adds USB 2.0 Advanced Triggers, which enable state-based and flexible trigger conditions based on data patterns, packet types, error types, and events. The Ultimate Edition features up to eight independent states and six matches per state for USB 2.0 captures, plus hardware packet filtering. It also includes a larger 256 MB hardware buffer compared to the standard 64 MB buffer. These variants are ideal for debugging power-related USB issues and optimizing device power consumption profiles.
-
Can the Beagle USB 480 analyze USB 3.0 or newer USB standards?
No, the Beagle USB 480 is specifically designed for USB 2.0 analysis and cannot capture USB 3.0 SuperSpeed traffic. For USB 3.0 analysis, Total Phase offers other analyzers in their Beagle series that support SuperSpeed protocols. The USB 480 remains highly effective for USB 2.0 applications, which still represent a significant portion of USB implementations in embedded systems, HID devices, and many consumer electronics. When working with mixed USB environments, you may need multiple analyzers to cover all USB speeds comprehensively. The Debug Store can provide guidance on the appropriate analyzer for your specific USB standards requirements.
-
What troubleshooting capabilities does the Beagle USB 480 provide for common USB issues?
The Beagle USB 480 excels at identifying and troubleshooting common USB problems. It can detect CRC errors, incorrect data toggle sequences, speed negotiation failures, and timing violations with precise resolution. The analyzer captures low-level bus events including suspend/resume cycles, reset sequences, and unexpected signals that often cause communication failures. It provides real-time USB class-level decoding to identify protocol-specific issues and can detect hardware-level problems like chirp pattern errors during speed negotiations. The hardware-based packet suppression feature helps focus on problematic transactions by filtering out routine traffic like IN/NAK pairs. Digital I/O capabilities allow correlation with external test equipment for comprehensive system-level debugging.
-
How do you set up and use the Beagle USB 480 for the first time?
Setting up the Beagle USB 480 involves several straightforward steps. First, download and install the Total Phase USB Drivers from The Debug Store or Total Phase website, then connect the analyzer's analysis port to your computer. Download and launch the Data Center software, then connect to the Beagle analyzer through the software interface. Configure the device settings for USB 2.0 monitoring with auto-detect speed settings and real-time capture mode. Set up capture settings including data limits and filtering options as needed. Start the capture, then connect the analyzer between your target host and device using the appropriate USB cables. The analyzer comes with two USB A-to-B cables (6-foot and 1-foot lengths) and a Mini-DIN 9 Digital I/O cable for easy setup.
-
What types of USB devices and applications is the Beagle USB 480 compatible with?
The Beagle USB 480 is compatible with a wide range of USB applications including audio bridges, cameras, HID devices, hubs, mass storage devices, mobile broadband, mobile phones, music players, tablets, and video devices.

The analyzer can handle any USB 2.0 device operating at Low-Speed (1.5 Mbps), Full-Speed (12 Mbps), or High-Speed (480 Mbps). It's particularly useful for debugging USB development projects, analyzing intermittent communication issues, and troubleshooting USB enumeration problems.
-
How does the Beagle USB 480 compare to software-based USB analyzers?
Hardware-based analyzers like the Beagle USB 480 offer significant advantages over software analyzers. Unlike software analyzers that rely on filter drivers and can make systems slower or unstable, the Beagle USB 480 operates independently without affecting system performance. It can capture low-level bus events including reset, suspend, resume, and speed negotiations that software analyzers typically cannot detect. The hardware analyzer provides true non-intrusive monitoring, allowing capture of data between separate devices without interference. Additionally, it supports continuous monitoring during device unplugging and replugging scenarios, and can detect timing issues and transmission errors with precision timing resolution.
-
