The USBMobile protocol analyser offers engineers a portable, low-cost solution for accurately and efficiently debugging, testing and verifying full- and low-speed (classic) USB semiconductors, devices, software and systems.
It is a non intrusive design verification system that accurately and reliably captures USB protocol traffic and uses the proprietary, well-known, CATC Trace data display to show protocol traffic in a colour-coded, easy-to-understand fashion.

Released in August of 2002, Merlin Mobile is the first and only full-featured, PCMCIA card format Bluetooth protocol analyser on the market.
Merlin Mobile is a low-cost, nonintrusive analyser with a radio interface for capturing and analysing piconet data, delivering performance and convenience in a portable, low-cost package.
Merlin Mobile can capture and decode baseband, LMP, L2CAP, SDP, RFCOMM, TCS, OBEX, HDLC, PPP, BNEP, HID and AT commands, again using the CATC Trace to display these in an easy to read, colour-coded format.
This intuitive system allows Bluetooth developers to quickly and easily pinpoint problems, dramatically reducing the time needed to debug device or piconet operations.
Merlin Mobile has won two awards since its introduction: RF Design's Product of the Month and EE Times Chipcenter's Product of the Week.
