Digital design toolset takes on tough debugging challenges

January 4, 2019 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

The new Five Wire is a professional-grade toolset that takes over where oscilloscopes and software debuggers fall short, allowing engineers to quickly capture and source signals to assist with debugging and verification of embedded designs. With Five Wire, digital designers and firmware engineers get the power of five debugging tools in one instrument so users can source, capture, and analyze the data needed to debug complex embedded designs.

Five Wire can help users:
-Capture, analyze, and emulate I2C, SPI, and Digital I/O. See multiple five wiretransactions with decoding and the ability to do fine timing measurements.
-Take control of your I/O. Five Wire’s pattern generator makes your firmware development and testing easier and more predictable with REAL real-time.
-Automate testing. Five Wire allows users to create signals to exercise designs or complex scripts that stimulate to measure, analyze, and save test results.

Taking a special approach to testing digital designs, Five Wire captures and stores data only when a signal changes, greatly reducing the time and memory necessary to capture and record transactions to provide a faster way for engineers to find and fix bugs. Embedded engineers can now capture more data and clearly see the interactions between software and hardware components or systems.

Five Wire can also be used to simulate sensor inputs and emulate protocols to evaluate software and circuit performance. With digital, analog, and protocol source signals, you can replace or emulate source inputs to verify firmware response to external signals. The tool also supports user customization, allowing users to operate the various tools with easy to understand GUIs or. For users who want more control, full automation is available using Five Wire’s C-like scripting language.

Five Wire was designed by Anewin in Vancouver, Washington. It is manufactured by ControlTek, a veteran-owned electronics manufacturer located in Vancouver, Washington and marketed by Outlier of Portland, Oregon.
