Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer.
 2.3 Software that improves support for the Picture Transfer Protocol Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) is a widely supported protocol developed by the International Imaging Industry Association to allow the transfer of images from digital cameras to computers and other peripheral devices without the need of additional device drivers.  (PTP (1) See peer-to-peer.

(2) (Picture Transfer Protocol) An ISO standard for transferring photos from a digital camera to a computer or photo printer.

) technologies. The software is designed for use with LeCroy's entire line of USB protocol analyzers, and is available to existing customers as a software update.

LeCroy's USB product line is the most widely used protocol analysis tool in the USB industry, and includes the USBTracer/Trainer(TM), USBMobile, and USBAdvisor. These products are the first protocol analyzers that address digital media transfer in consumer protocol development for computers, printers, cameras, and other multimedia devices.

The USB 2.3 Software combines LeCroy's decade-long experience in designing and marketing USB analysis tools with emerging technologies in consumer electronics. Because the software can be used with LeCroy's market-leading USB development tools, engineers have a familiar interface to more quickly find errors in PictBridge, PTP, and MTP protocol traffic. Common trigger, search, and reporting tools make viewing and understanding the data traffic easier, simplifying the analysis of projects using digital media transfer technologies.

"Consumer electronics developers are racing to quickly enhance current designs with the latest user friendly digital media transfer features", said John Wiedemeier, product marketing manager, LeCroy Corporation. "Having the LeCroy USB protocol analyzer on hand to decode (1) To convert coded data back into its original form. Contrast with encode.

PictBridge, a Camera & Imaging Products Association standard, is a technology that allows images stored on a memory card in a digital camera to be printed from any printer without the need for a computer. PTP was developed to enable the transfer of digital images from cameras to other digital media devices. MTP, a PIMA (Photographic and Imaging Manufacturers Association The Photographic and Imaging Manufacturers Association, or PIMA, was founded in 1946 under the name National Association of Photographic Manufacturers (NAPM). In 1997 the name was changed to PIMA. ) ISO (1) See ISO speed.

LeCroy has developed over five generations of USB analysis tools and offers a wide selection of analyzers with varying capabilities and features. The tools provide a range of solutions from the high portability USBMobile, to the powerful, flexible, and upgradeable USBTracer/Trainer. The USBTracer interfaces with standard USB cables and connections to capture and display all speeds of USB bus traffic. The USBTrainer(TM) is a powerful traffic generator that emulates and controls user defined Any format, layout, structure or language that is developed by the user.  USB traffic. LeCroy's USBTracer/Trainer is available in two versions--the USBTracer/Trainer All-Speed and the USBTracer/Trainer Classic

The USB 2.3 Software is now available for immediate download. For additional information, contact LeCroy at 1-800-5LeCroy (1-800-553-2769) or visit LeCroy's web site at www.lecroy.com.
