Latest Patents
One of Gopal Santhanam's latest patents is titled "Methods for embedding an out-of-band signal into a communication protocol capture stream." This invention involves handling one or more out-of-band input signals (GPIO) and efficiently embedding them into a USB capture stream. To conserve resources, the state of the input signals is sent only when a change occurs. The signals are accurately time-stamped and presented within the context of the captured USB data. To maximize visibility, if digital inputs occur during a normally filtered multi-packet sequence, the filter is canceled, and the surrounding packets are also sent to an analysis computer. Additionally, digital inputs that may happen during a USB packet are queued in a FIFO buffer until there is an opportunity to send them. Even though the state of the inputs may be sent at a later time, it is time-stamped when perceived by the analyzer.
