Report lenght is different in USB Analyzer

[moelski]

Hi Roman,

today I started to communicate to another HID device. I don´t have a protocol description so I startet reading the Report length. The result was 24.
Then I used an USB analyzer to view the USB data. The USB analyzer told me that the report length is 23 bytes. So I was a little bit confused. I tried another USB analyzer and this reports 23 bytes report length, too.

I tried to write to the device and got no response. I kept my application running and started the original Device application. My application was able to capture the feedback from the device, too. It looks like this:
00 12 20 04 00 00 1E 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

As you can see there is a leading 00 at the beginning. Do you have any idea why the USB analyzer (keep in mind I used two of them) report without the leading 0?
I added the 0 to my test application and all worked fine.

So is there any USB specification that leading zeros could be hidden !?

Hello

The first byte is ReportID value. Possible USB Analyzer shows only actual length of data without byte reserved for ID of HID report.
