Abstract
A monitoring device connects to a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL) of an 12C bus. The monitoring device analyzes the data signals and clock signals transmitted on the 12C bus, samples data signals from the serial data line at time intervals, and stores the sampled data in a storage unit. The data stored in the storage unit is displayed via a display unit or via a computing device connected to the monitoring device.
