This web page refers to our older busTRACE 6.0 which is no longer shipping. Click here for details on our latest busTRACE version.


View Device Command Descriptor Blocks
busTRACE 6.0 includes a large database of known CDBs. This allows busTRACE to fully decode most (if not all) commands and data in/out between Windows and its storage devices.

busTRACE 6.0 provides you the ability to view our CDB database. Simply select your device type of interest, click on the CDB of interest, and view the decoded CDB. You can optionally attach a data buffer (inbound or outbound) to see how the database decodes the command and data in / data out.

Don't remember the format of a Get Event Status Notification CDB for CD/DVD/HD/BD devices? Simply run busTRACE 6.0, click on the CDB, and see how the command is formatted. This tool greatly assist software developers, or anyone who has a need to see how CDBs are formatted without going through the process of looking it up in the associated command specification.

Use the CDB toolbar to alter how the CDB is decoded, or copy the results to the clipboard
Sort the CDBs based on the opcode number of by the CDB name


View Device Sense Codes
When a storage device fails a CDB, a check condition (02h - SCSISTAT_CHECK_CONDITION) is returned to Windows. A Request Sense CDB is then issued to retrieve the sense codes. busTRACE 6.0 includes an application that allows you to convert numeric sense codes into their descriptive text.

The entire list is shown to you at one time. You can use the vertical scrollbar, or the mouse wheel, to view the available sense codes. If you want to find a specific sense code decoding, simply enter the hex value and busTRACE 6.0 will immediately scroll and jump to the decoding.

busTRACE 6.0 also allows you to filter out the sense code descriptions based on your input filter. For example, if we specify a filter of "Invalid," we receive a subset of the available sense code descriptions including:

ASC ASCQ Description
0Eh 00h Invalid information unit
0Eh 03h Invalid field in Command Information Unit
20h 00h Invalid command operation code
20h 03h Access denied - Invalid mgmt id key
20h 09h Access denied - Invalid lu identifier
20h 0Ah Access denied - Invalid proxy token
21h 01h Invalid element address
... ... ...
... ... ...
