Description
Similar to the GRL-USB-PD-A1 the GRL-USB-A1-EPR is a Power Delivery protocol analyzer and Power Meter up to 240W is a helpful and unique tool that supports protocol analysis of the USB Type-C Power Delivery standard with support of the Extended Power Range (EPR) and can real time measure the voltage levels; current draws and related Power Consumption in parallel. The A1-EPR is connected between two USB Type-C capable devices and allows to analyze voltage and current information of the USB Type-C device The Power Delivery messages transmitted and received between the USB Power Delivery Sink and Source are captured and visually represented for in-depth analysis.
Key Features
- Allows you to monitor PD packets used for negotiation between USB Power Delivery (PD) devices.
- Support Extended Power Range (EPR) with power up to 240W
- Message decoding of ALT mode negotiation as VDM data like for DisplayPort, HDMI, ThunderBolt, MHL, …
- Change CC to set Rp, Rd, Ra on CC1 and CC2 to emulate a source or sink
- View in real time USB PD protocol in correlation with Vbus, Current and CC
- Perform round-the-clock testing where trace files are continuously and automatically saved
- Trace files can be opened and analyzed by anyone using free trace viewing software
- Find and filter options in PD messages
- Can go 20% above the upper limit to verify over current events
- Supports charging analysis of different specifications for Qualcomm Quick Charge, Huawei Super Charge, Samsung Adaptive Fast Charge, Mediatek Pump Express™, OnePlus Dash Charge, and more.
- Include a USB2.0 µB – A cable
