The Debugger That Outsmarts JTAG and Logic Analyzers
Real-Time Firmware and Hardware Debugging. No Halts. No Compromises.
Why Your Current Debug Tools Aren’t Enough
Standard debugging tools only tell part of the story:
Logic analyzers show you signals on the pins but not the firmware decisions driving them.
JTAG debuggers let you step through code, but they halt execution and miss real-time events.
Neither tool shows cause and effect as it happens inside your embedded system.
Only the Active-Pro shows all of the interactions needed to solve the most complex firmware bugs.
Meet Your New Favorite Tool:
Active-Pro Debugger & Logic Analyzer
Active-Pro combines a high-performance logic analyzer with real-time firmware instrumentation, giving you:
Full visibility of firmware events without halting code.
Time-correlated traces linking code to actual hardware signals.
A faster, more confident path to finding and fixing elusive bugs.
A tool that works where traditional analyzers and JTAG stop helping.

And See the Complete View
with Synchronized Analog and Digital Signals, Decoded Buses, and Current
See Synchronized Firmware Variables, Debug Output and Hardware Signaling
Firmware debug output, transitions, states, hardware signals, and bus activity captured in sync, visualized live. Whether you're working on a single or multiple MCUs and FPGAs, it all lines up in one beautiful timeline.
Watch Live Debug Output
Viewing firmware debug output alongside hardware signals on a synchronized timeline shows exactly what your system is doing and when. You can instantly see the cause and effect between your code, I/O, and communication events, even across multiple processors, making deep firmware issues much faster to isolate and fix.
Go Inside Interprocessor Communications
The Active-Pro Debugger lets you see both sides of the communication, what's happening on the bus and what your firmware is doing to send and receive it. By combining external signal monitoring with internal trace points, it exposes issues between processors and FPGAs that traditional tools miss.
See Code Impacting Power Usage
The Active-Pro Debugger links source code to current changes during power mode transitions, so you can see exactly what code is running as power ramps up or down. It shows real-time power behavior, helping you tighten up power management code and improve reliability—especially in battery-powered systems.
Capture Real-Time Status Over Long Periods
The Active-Pro Debugger streams all data to disk so you can capture long test cycles without missing anything. While recording, it gives you a live view of system behavior and overlays multiple data streams for full context. It’s built for tough environments like automotive and aerospace, where catching rare issues fast matters.
Graph Algorithm Variables
The Active-Pro Debugger shows live internal variables as your algorithm runs, so you can focus on the actual computation, not just the outputs. It’s built to help you fine-tune sensor processing and troubleshoot issues fast by giving you a real-time view into what your code is doing.
Debugging Multiprocessor Systems: A Practical Walkthrough
In this video, we explore the unique challenges of debugging multiprocessor embedded systems, where timing and inter-processor communication can make bugs almost impossible to reproduce with traditional tools. You’ll see how the Active-Pro Debugger gives you real-time visibility across multiple processors and buses, making it easier to track down race conditions, synchronization problems, and unexpected interactions with confidence.
