1. Overview

This Read Me file contains last-minute product information for the USB Advisor™ software for Microsoft Windows. For full instructions on using the USB Advisor™ please see the User's Manual and other documents provided with this product.

2. System Requirements

The following is a list of recommendations for the configuration of the host machine that runs the USB Advisor™ application and that is connected to the USB Advisor™ system. Please note that the application would operate on systems with less memory and slower CPU rate than the recommended; however, for best results it is recommended that the host machine meets or exceeds the suggested configuration.

2.1. Software

Operating System:

Microsoft Windows Windows 2000 or Windows XP.

Required setup:

Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 5 or newer.

2.2. Hardware

Processor:

For optimum performance, use processors of Intel's PentiumIII/Pentium4 family, AMD’s Athlon/Duron family, or other compatible processors with clock speed of 500mHz or higher (Processors of Intel’s Pentium II/Celeron family or AMD’s K6 family with clock speed of 300mHz is a minimum).

Memory:

For the best performance, it is recommended to have physical RAM twice the size of the recording buffer setup - 256MB or more (minimum of 128MB of RAM).

Hard Disk:

At least 20MB of free hard disk space is required for the installation. Additional disk space is needed for the operation of the applications and for storing the recorded data in files during the recordings process (can be as much as 150MB when recording a full buffer size).

Display:

Resolution of at least 1024 x 768 with at least 16-bit color depth is recommended (resolution of 800 × 600 with 16-bit color is a minimum).

Connectivity:

USB 1.1 or 2.0 interface is required to connect the analyzer to the host PC. This is not a requirement if the analyzer application is used only to view pre-recorded traces.

3. Release Notes

3.2. Known Issues

· The integrated Generation File (.utg file) Editor does not work with Windows 98 or Windows ME. You can either edit the .utg files with your own text editor, or upgrade to Windows 2000 or XP.

· In rare circumstances, the search feature may fail to find items that exist. If this occurs, close the application and start it again.

· Errors may appear in the last couple of packets of a recording that are not real errors. They are a side effect of the recording terminating during the middle of a packet.

· When uninstalling version 1.60, you may get a dialog asking: "! This will remove InstallShield Dialog Sampler from your computer. Do you wish to proceed?" Just click on "Yes". The correct application WILL be uninstalled (The phrase in the InstallShield script should have contained the string "USB Advisor" in the place of "InstallShield Dialog Sampler").

3.3. API

Automation:

· Sample files Installation: To install the sample files, please select the ‘Custom’ installation option and select the ‘Automation’ group. The samples are suitable for the USB Advisor™ analyzer. Please refer to the Automation manual for additional information.

· To run the sample files, you should make sure that the USB Advisor™ software is already installed.

· The library file name to be used is: USBAutomation.tlb for the USB Advisor™ analyzer.

· HTML Sample:

· For editing the HTML sample code you can use a text editor or other HTML-editing tools.

· CPP sample:

1. To compile the Visual C++ sample project you first need to install the Microsoft Visual Studio.

2. You can select to install the USB Advisor™ software in a directory different than the default one. If you choose to do so, make sure you add a path to the installation directory in your project’s paths list. You can find the USBAutomation.tlb file in the installation directory. When using Microsoft Visual Studio, the path to the installation directory should be added to the following places in the ‘Project Settings’ property sheet:

(1) Under ‘C/C++’ tab, ‘Preprocessor’ category in the ‘Additional include directories’.

(2) Under ‘Resources’ tab, in the ‘Additional resource include directories’.

· When a remote server is disconnected abruptly while a client application is still connected, the client application might hang up for several minutes. At the end of this timeout, the client would be released with a “The RPC server unavailable” notification. This is due to Windows conduct. [C0004997]

3.3.1. CATCAnalyzerAdapter - Establishing remote connection from script client:

This automation server allows to launch and access CATC analyzer automation servers dynamically at run-time and remotely ( as long as all necessary DCOM settings and permissions are set on the remote server ) and successfully handle automation events from them in situations where otherwise it is difficult or impossible. The examples below will show how limitations imposed by script engines used in HTML browsers and Windows Script Host could be overridden using this adapter server.

Classid : A0CB5386-38BA-4970-8782-3D1B707C3E5F

ProgID : CATC.AnalyzerAdapter

COM server : CATCAnalyzerAdapter.exe

Primary default interface : IAnalazerAdapter

3.3.1.1. IAnalyzerAdapter::CreateObject

HRESULT CreateObject ([in] BSTR class_id,

[in,optional] BSTR host_name,

out, retval] IDispatch** ppNewObj );

This method instantiates CATC analyzer object on local or remote machine and attaches it to the adapter

Parameters

class_id - string representation of classid, or ProgId ( "clsid: 0B179BB3-DC61-11d4-9B71-000102566088" or "CATC.USBTracer" for CATC USB analyzer )

host_name - the name of the remote server where the analyzer object should be instantiated. Empty value means localhost.

ppNewObj - pointer to the created remote object, NULL if the object has not been instantiated or accessed

Return values

Remarks

Only CATC analyzer COM servers can be instantiated through this method. The method Detach ( see below ) should be called when the work with the remote object is completed( NOTE: The pointer returned in ppNewObj should be released separately ).

Example

VBScript:

</HEAD>
