FuturePlus Systems Announces FS4500 DisplayPort Protocol Analyzer

BEDFORD, N.H., Feb. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- FuturePlus Systems, a world leader in cost effective computer analysis tools,  today introduced the industry's first HBR3 DisplayPort Protocol Analysis tool http:/www.futureplus.com/display-port-fs4500/ The FS4500 is the only tool on the market that can monitor all the HBR3 traffic between any DisplayPort source and any DisplayPort sink.  The FS4500 DisplayPort Protocol Analyzer will be used by embedded and systems designers involved in the development of computers and peripherals incorporating the DisplayPort technology. The new tool probes a DisplayPort bus at up to and including 8.1 Gb/s and provides a complete view of all the bus protocol on both the high speed main link and the Aux channel.  "FuturePlus Systems has 25 years of protocol-aware bus analysis tool experience," said Barbara Aichinger, Vice President, FuturePlus Systems. "Other tools act as a reference source or reference sink in order to display the bus traffic.  However that is not where most problems are.  Engineers need to be able to monitor all the bus traffic between any source and any sink in order to ready products for the market. We enable DisplayPort designers to reduce development time using this new FuturePlus® product."
