Benefits
Benefits
Monitor displays high-level view
of I
2
C bus traffic. Bit and
protocol level information is
also available and graphically
displayed as a timing waveform.
Debugger allows direct read/
write access to peek and poke
device registers on the I
2
C bus.
The Scribe acts as a master to
generate I
2
C transactions while
simultaneously monitoring the
traffic on the bus.
I2C Exerciser software is easy to
learn and use. Graphical
interface allows quick access to
the powerful functionality and
filters out the noise so that you
may focus on the trace data
that you actually need to see.
Everything needed to get
started is provided. No need to
purchase additional “optional”
modules or adapter cables to be
compatible.

Blackhawk Scribe
™
The Blackhawk Scribe is an entry level, yet feature-packed and robust I
2
C debugging tool. The Blackhawk Scribe allows engineers to
save precious development time by providing low level visibility and control of an I
2
C bus. There is no longer a need to hook up a
logic analyzer to capture traffic on the bus and then spend hours sifting through mountains of data in order to find that one par-
ticular bit. The Blackhawk hardware and software provide a convenient and intuitive environment for hardware debugging, soft-
ware development, and in-system programming.
