The “Ah-Ha” Moment Generator
Visualize Your Embedded Firmware and Hardware Like Never Before
Automatically Graph Data from Inside Your Firmware in Real-Time from All Processors and FPGAs in your Embedded System
The Active-Pro Debugger and Logic Analyzer debugs embedded firmware & hardware and revolutionizes embedded system firmware development by providing unprecedented, high-definition visibility into your firmware’s inner workings in real time. It automatically graphs variables and debug output from multiple microprocessors or FPGAs, hardware signals and decoded bus traffic, and current simultaneously on one screen. Crafted for the professional firmware engineer, the Active-Pro gives you the exact data needed to make smart decisions quickly.
"This is a fantastic tool. I wish I had this 20 years ago. I'm surprised no MSO or logic analyzer has this kind of capability. Kudos to you for developing this."

Technical Specifications
for the Active-Pro Debugger and Logic Analyzer
-
Captures data on the new Active-Pro debug interface that sends debug data from your processor to our capture engine. It allows each processor to display debug text and graphed variables in real-time on multiple channels timestamped to nanosecond resolution.
The debug data is synchronized with all other digital and analog inputs and busses, graphed in real time, and supports up to 4 separate processors simultaneously.
