USBee ZX Bus Decoders    

High Speed ASYNC

The Async bus decoder is part of the Logic Analyzer.  You can access it through the View menu.

You first must capture a trace of data that contains the Async bus signal.  Once you have the trace captured, you can then run the decoder to extract the data.  You can select any of the eight lines for the decode.

You can specify the baud rate to 1 baud, select msbit or lsbit first, data/parity combinations and output display format of your choosing.

Once the decode button is pressed, the protocol and data is then extracted to the text box.  You can then select, copy and paste this data into any other program for formatting or processing.

Async Baud Rate

up to 12Mbaud in 1baud steps

Low Speed USB

The USB bus decoder is part of the Logic Analyzer.  You can access it through the View menu.

You first must capture a trace of data that contains the USB bus signals, D+ and D-.  Once you have the trace captured, you can then run the decoder to extract the data.  You can select any of the eight lines for the two protocol lines.

Once you press the Decode button, the protocol and data is then extracted to the text box.  You can then select, copy and paste this data into any other program for formatting or processing.

The USB decoder parses out the Endpoints, Data PIDs, Device ID’s and decodes the standard Endpoint 0 device requests.

SPI

The SPI bus decoder is part of the Logic Analyzer application.  You can access it through the View menu.

You first must capture a trace of data that contains the SPI bus signals, SS, SCK, SI and SO.  Once you have the trace captured, you can then run the decoder to extract the data.  You can select any of the eight lines for the four protocol lines.

You can specify which edge the data lines are to be sampled on (opposite of the data changing edge).  You can also choose the output data format and how many bytes to write out per line.

The protocol and data is then extracted to the text box.  You can then select, copy and paste this data into any other program for formatting or processing.

SPI Clock Speed

I2C

The I2C bus decoder is part of the Logic Analyzer  application.  You can access it through the View menu.

You first must capture a trace of data that contains the I2C bus signals, SDA and SCL.  The I2C bus is Open Collector, meaning that you must have an external pull-up resistor on each of the SDA and SCL lines.  You most likely already have one on your circuit design.

Once you have the trace captured, you can then run the decoder to extract the data.  You can select any of the eight lines for the SDA or SCL lines.

The protocol and data is then extracted to the text box.  You can then select, copy and paste this data into any other program for formatting or processing.
