USBaseman

USBaseman is a software utility designed to provide detailed information about USB devices connected to a computer. It allows users to explore the properties of each USB device, including manufacturer, product ID, vendor ID, and driver information. The application can be useful for troubleshooting USB-related issues, identifying unknown devices, or simply understanding the hardware connected to a system.

The software typically presents this information in a clear, organized interface, often with a hierarchical view of connected USB hubs and their attached devices. Users can select individual devices to view specific details such as serial numbers, power consumption, and the USB specification version it supports. Some versions of USBaseman may also offer the ability to capture USB traffic, providing an in-depth look at the communication between the host computer and the USB device. This advanced feature is primarily aimed at developers and advanced users involved in USB protocol analysis.

USBaseman is generally considered a freeware or open-source tool, making it accessible to a wide range of users. Its primary function is to augment the device management capabilities already present in operating systems by offering a more granular and user-friendly presentation of USB device data. The application is often used in conjunction with other system diagnostic tools.
