Hardware Setup and Configurations
Examiner uses the USB Explorer 280 Analyzer/Generator in a traffic generation mode to
automatically execute compliance testing against the port under test (PUT). Optionally, an
Explorer 280 Analyzer may be used, under automated control of the Examiner application (or
manually operated under the EX280 Analyzer application), to capture traffic that occurs during
each test that is executed.
This section describes test setups for the following cases:
Section 3.1
Device and Host Link Layer Tests (Chapters 6/7). These are required for USB-IF
certification for USB3.0 devices, hubs, and hosts.
Device Framework (Chapter 9), Electrical, and Mass Storage.
Section 3.2
Hub Testing (Chapter 10). This test suite is required for USB-IF certification of USB 3.0
hubs.

The Explorer 280 Analyzer and the Explorer 280 Generator are
identical in appearance and in hardware design. The functionality of
the Explorer 280 (analyzer, generator, or Examiner) is driven by the
software application attached to the unit.
