USB Monitor Pro - Press Kit

USB Monitor Pro Overview

Overview

As USB device driver engineers we know how problematic it is to find and reduce the number of bugs or defects during the software development process. It is a complicated and tedious task that takes a lot of time to analyze thousands of packets and megabytes of binary information to detect and eliminate errors.

To save time and to make any debugging process easy and fast we developed an effective USB traffic analyzer for Windows. USB Monitor Pro lets you monitor incoming and outgoing data of any USB device on your computer. It gives you a possibility to decode, filter, detect errors in the USB data stream without any additional expensive hardware.

USB Monitor Pro was created based on extensive experience in USB device driver development. Simply install the program on your computer, choose an USB device and start monitoring.

Monitoring of critical information

Any critical information will not pass by USB Monitor Pro. INTERNAL_IOCTLs, URB packets and IRP packets of PnP and Power Management subsystems will be captured and displayed immediately. The process of data monitoring is performed in both directions from and to the device you monitor.

Reports

The captured data is displayed in an arranged format which makes it easy to perceive, understand and search the information you need.

All the data are shown in chronological order. Click on a packet to get detailed information of URB and INTERNAL_IOCTL packets whenever you want.

Hot-plugged device monitoring

USB Monitor Pro is always ready to work. If it is configured, the program will wait for a device to be plugged in to start monitoring. At the moment you plug a USB device into your computer the program starts data gathering automatically.

Real-time monitoring

You don't have to choose between two different processes like analyzing information and monitoring a USB device. Thanks to this feature you can scrutinize the needed data while monitoring a USB device. Beyond that, you can easily monitor several USB devices simultaneously.

100% software solution

With USB Monitor Pro you don't have to buy any expensive hardware USB analyzers to monitor your USB devices. The program works without any additional hardware, it is 100% software solution. Just plug any USB device into a USB port and start data gathering.

Data searching engine

USB Monitor Pro enables quick and easy searching for captured data of the USB device you need. You can search data by inner content of a URB packet.

Data filtering engine

Built-in filter lets you quickly find packets you need. The filtering mechanism allows dynamic displaying of required data and automatic hiding of unnecessary packets.

Monitoring of different data streams

USB Monitor Pro is used for error detection, monitoring, decoding, optimizing all types of data. With USB Monitor Pro you can monitor all types of URBs, IRP's of PnP and Power Management subsystems.

Saving captured data

Captured data can be saved to a file. You can open this file with USB Monitor Pro any time and scrutinize the information. Saved data will be displayed as if they were just captured.

Monitoring of multiple USB devices

If you need to monitor several USB devices at a time, you can easily do it. It makes no problem at all! USB Monitor Pro allows monitoring of multiple USB devices simultaneously.

Restart device stack emulation

The software supplies you with the feature to emulate the restart of a USB device without unplugging when you need it. So with USB Monitor you don't have to physically unplug the USB device every time you need to reinitialize it.

Gathering complete USB device information

With USB Monitor Pro you can gather the information you need and see it in an organized and convenient format. USB Monitor Pro allows you to gather the following types of data:

device descriptor (USB device type, manufacturer, USB device protocol, data volume, the number of configurations);
configuration descriptor (the number of interfaces);
interface descriptor;
endpoint descriptor.

Switching between corresponding outgoing and incoming packets

You don't have to search for corresponding outgoing and incoming packets manually. Just press the appropriate hotkey and the program will switch you to IN/OUT corresponding packets automatically.
