Introducing the DPA-400
The Unigraf DP AUX Channel monitor is a compact, pocket sized device that provides a full
DisplayPort™ AUX channel traffic analysis. DPA-400 and its Windows GUI tool enable the
user to monitor, capture, parse and document all messages sent by DisplayPort™ source, sink
or branch devices.
Each message is shown as time stamped raw data and also in its decoded form, expressed with
the same terminology used by the DisplayPort™ standard specification. Also the activity of the
Hot Plug Detect (HPD) signal and optionally other external signals is tracked and documented
by a time stamp marking each of its changes of state.
Easy to Use
The DPA-400 is a USB-powered device and measures only 10.5 x 13 x 3.5 centimeters,
making it an ideal tool for a laboratory desktop and a snappy companion for a laptop computer.
DPA-400 preserves signal integrity by bypassing the Main Stream data lanes with the provided
special cable. DPA-400 can be inserted between a sink and a source without needing any
custom adapters or expensive pods.
