USB Implementers Forum Selects MATLAB in High-Speed Compliance Testing for Universal Serial Bus.Business/Technology Editors NATICK, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 15, 2002 The MathWorks, Inc., the leading developer of technical computing software for engineers and scientists, today announced that the Universal Serial Bus See USB. (hardware, standard) Universal Serial Bus - (USB) An external peripheral interface standard for communication between a computer and external peripherals over an inexpensive cable using biserial transmission. Implementers Forum (USB-IF) chose MATLAB (MATrix LABoratory) A programming language for technical computing from The MathWorks, Natick, MA (www.mathworks.com). Used for a wide variety of scientific and engineering calculations, especially for automatic control and signal processing, MATLAB runs on Windows, Mac and as the standard software language to test computer peripherals that link to a computer via Universal Serial Bus (USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. ). Engineers at Intel Corporation (company) Intel Corporation - A US microelectronics manufacturer. They produced the Intel 4004, Intel 8080, Intel 8086, Intel 80186, Intel 80286, Intel 80386, Intel 486 and Pentium microprocessor families as well as many other integrated circuits and personal computer networking , working on behalf of the USB-IF, used The MathWorks flagship tool to develop MATLAB Compliance Test scripts The instructions in a test program. It defines the actions and pass/fail criteria. For example, if the action is "to enter a valid account number," the expected result is that the data are accepted. Entering an invalid number should yield a particular error message. See test case. in order to perform the high-speed compliance testing for USB. By basing USB testing on MATLAB, the USB-IF is better positioned to enable ease-of-use, expandability, and speed for the end-user when connecting high-speed devices like disk drives, CD/RWs, DVDs, and conferencing cameras to a personal computer. The MATLAB language enables USB compliance tool users to describe the requirements for testing various devices and delivers high quality, accurate results rapidly and efficiently. USB targets the peripherals that connect outside the computer. "We needed a tool that was both powerful and flexible to do the detailed waveform The shape of a signal. See wavelength, sine wave and square wave. analysis for the USB Compliance Program," said Brad Hosler, USB Engineering Manager at Intel Corporation. "MATLAB provides the ideal environment for research, programming and test and measurement of data and is perfectly suited to meet our needs." "The MATLAB language is known and used by engineers worldwide," said Lisa Kempler, Director of MATLAB Marketing at The MathWorks. "With MATLAB, engineers can leverage the industry standard in technical computing software to perform faster, more reliable measurement, analysis, and product development." About The MathWorks, Inc.
