MCCI USB Connection Exerciser
Price: $495.00Tired of manually plugging/unplugging USB devices to test or debug driver load/unload problems? Are you wearing out the connectors on your development PC? Is your prototype so fragile that plugging and unplugging risks damaging the unit? Want to run connect/disconnect tests overnight?
The MCCI® USB 3.0 Connection Exerciser Model 2101 automatically connects and disconnects a USB2 or 3 host and device under push-button or software control. Connections can be single-stepped or repeated. The manual modes are useful for debugging attach/detach scenarios. QA teams find the automatic repeat modes useful for regression tests.
It's an ideal tool for finding and debugging connect or disconnect bugs in host drivers and devices. Simply connect your host and device to the connection exerciser, supply power, and you're ready to test. A single button push will connect or disconnect your device. Select "auto" mode to automatically repeat enumeration testing. Connect USB 3.0 Super Speed devices in high-speed mode to test backwards compatibility. Use a test control computer to automatically vary the test cycle time.
Features:- A single button push connects or disconnects your device from the host.
- Tests low speed, full speed, high speed and super speed devices and hosts.
- An impedance controlled, low loss USB data path. The Exerciser is transparent when in the connected state.
- Data relays are rated to 7 Ghz.
- VBUS and Data signals are connected and disconnected in the same sequence as if connected manually.
- The ground connection between host and device is never broken.
- Connection time can be controlled down to 10 ms.
- Device Under Test (DUT) VBUS is optionally configurable for flow-through or buffered operation. (In flow-through mode, your host provides the power to the device; in buffered mode, the connection exerciser provides power to your device. This is very useful if the host has a limited power supply or is battery powered.)
- Can be powered from any of these three sources:
- External 5 V power supply.
- Control PC VBUS connection.
- Host Under Test (HUT) VBUS power supply (optional).
- Control PC needs no drivers. Native HID drivers are all that is required.
