busTRACE 6.0 insulates you from the complexity of building and sending your own CDB to a storage device. Using our easy-to-use GUI interface, you simply select the device you want to submit a CDB too, find the CDB you are interested in sending, and then analyze the results.
busTRACE 6.0 uses SCSI Pass Through (or ASPI under Windows Me) to communicate with your PC's storage devices. These include your CD/DVD/HD/BD devices, hard drives, tape drives, jukeboxes, optical drives, and more. No kernel driver is required or used by busTRACE in order to communicate with your devices.
Creating your own sequence of CDBs is easy with busTRACE 6.0. Simply select the type of device(s) the script is intended for, drag and drop the CDBs you want to send, link the CDB nodes together, and then create an executable script.
You can also configure the script to save the results to a busTRACE capture file. This is an invaluable way for you, as an engineer, to quickly create a simple Windows application that you can send to your customer. They then run it on their system and e-mail you back the resultant busTRACE capture file. Load the capture file into busTRACE 6.0 and see exactly how the CDBs performed on the target user's PC.
No programming is required. Simply drag and drop your CDBs and link them together.
Through the use of Windows IOCTL_ATA_PASS_THROUGH and IOCTL_ATA_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT, busTRACE 6.0 is able to submit an IDENTIFY DEVICE request to your ATA/ATAPI devices. All of this is done in user mode. No kernel driver is required. View our screenshots to see busTRACE 6.0 in action.
