SourceUSB

SourceUSB is a useful and reliable software-based USB analysis tool. It is installed on a Windows operating system as a kernel-mode driver and user-mode application. The analyzer driver coexists with the Windows USB driver stack.
Since USB is a host driven bus, viewing USB activity from the host perspective is a valuable complement to viewing USB transactions on the bus with a hardware analyzer.

Easy Installation and Setup

SourceUSB installs easily as a Windows application and does not change the target systems driver configuration. It does not require any changes to existing drivers to benefit from its use.

Logging and Real-Time Display

SouceUSB records USB I/O requests and events in a binary log file and displays them in real-time. Requests and events can be logged from the time the system boots or logging can be easily started and stopped using keyboard shortcuts or menu commands. Filters can be applied to control the amount and type of information which is captured or displayed. All transactions are time-stamped to aid in performance analysis.

Export Logs to XML

Log files can be exported as XML for detailed analysis with other tools or custom XML parsers. XML reports can also be generated for a devices properties including their descriptor sets.

Captured Details

SourceUSB allows you to examine each I/O request or event in detail. For example, the fields in setup packets, URBs, and descriptors are displayed and annotated. The request and response phases of each I/O request are displayed separately with the completion status.

Total Enumeration

SourceUSB can combine four levels of capture information to give you the most complete view of the host enumeration process.Limitations in the unregistered version30-day trial
