Model JI-210
I2C Bus Monitor                

The JI-210 is a PC hosted I2C bus monitor used to non-invasively
monitor and analyze a variety of I2C networks. The desktop unit
captures and stores up to 32KBs of bus activity including data and
address values, stop/start, read/write, ACK/NACK, and frame error
events. Data is displayed as both I2C messages and Timing
Waveforms. A Windows software application manages captured
I2C messages, trigger setup, and recording settings. RS-232*
provides the PC to desktop unit communications link.
A unique FPGA architecture allows the JI-210 to capture and display all I2C bus events
(valid or invalid) between message Start and Stop conditions. For example, the action of
a Master mistakenly ignoring the NACK response of a Slave by continuing to transmit
data bytes will be captured, showing the invalid NACK response for each transfer. Bus
anomalies such as a Start followed by a Stop without data, or multiple Stop/Starts
conditions will be captured and displayed as they occurred.  Additionally, the JI-210 can
be configured to trigger and capture bus errors such as truncated address or data
values or missing ACK/NACK responses.

* Note: If the host PC does not have an available COM port, but does have a free USB port, a USB to RS-232 converter can
be used. Successful operation has been achieved with the IOGear Model GUC232A USB to Serial/PDA converter cable.
