Support Question of the Week: How do I use the API Software for the Cheetah SPI Host Adapter to Filter Data from an SPI Slave Device?

We are using the Cheetah^TM SPI Host Adapter with an SPI slave device. This slave device sends FF bytes on MISO as long as it is busy (somewhat similar to the clock-stretch for I2C), and if it is ready a first byte != FF byte is sent at mark 4. From then on, the data is the valid payload of interest that we want at read-data. The problem we h...

Support Question of the Week: Which Software Should I Use to Monitor MDIO with the Beagle I2C/SPI Protocol Analyzer?

I will be using the Beagle^TM I2C/SPI Protocol Analyzer to monitor MDIO (Management Data Input/Output). Can you advise which Total Phase software tool to use to monitor MDIO? That feature does not seem to be available in the most current version of Data Center^TM Software. What are my options?

Thank you for your question! The current version of ...

Support Question of the Week: How do I set up the Beagle I2C/SPI Protocol Analyzer to analyze a 1.8V I2C device with the Level Shifter Board?

We have a Beagle^TM I2C/SPI Protocol Analyzer and are using it with the Level Shifter Board. The target is a 1.8V I2C device and we're trying to set it up with an external power supply - not provide power from the Beagle analyzer. We believe we have it set up correctly, but the Data Center^TM Software shows no activity. Our setup is as follows:

Support Question of the Week: When does the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter Enable Clock Stretching?

We are using the Aardvark^TM I2C SPI Host Adapter as an I2C slave to test a master I2C port on another device. It appears the Aardvark adapter is using clock stretch while it is configured as a slave. Can you tell us what causes clock stretching - when we should expect to see that feature?

The Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter is a powerful and economical general-purpose host adapter for I2C and SPI circuits

Support Question of the Week: What are the latest SPI Flash device support updates for the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter and Flash Center Software?

I have been using the Aardvark^TM I2C/SPI Host Adapter and version 1.20 of the Flash Center^TM Software.  For the Spansion SPI flash device, Spansion chip (S25FL256S), I have been using a Total Phase XML file that I modified for that device.

What new devices does the new version of the Flash Center Software support directly?

Thanks for your qu...

Support Question of the Week - How can I Automatically Synchronize the Komodo CAN Duo Interface with the Bus and Log the Data?

I need to analyze and simulate a CAN-driven display system used for elevators. The display receives CAN commands and displays the floor number and other information. I don't know the bus details, such as speed and ID. My question - can the Komodo^™ CAN Duo Interface automatically synchronize with the bus and log the data?

Thanks for your questi...

Support Question of the Week: What Software Should We Use with the Komodo CAN Duo Interface to Collect Real-Time Data?

We are working on an automotive application, and we will be using the Komodo^TM CAN Duo Interface. We also have the Data Center^TM Software that was provided with the Komodo.

This purpose of the application is to be able to trouble-shoot the radio outside of the vehicle. A module that is integrated in the vehicular system controls the radio. ...
