PCI Express analyser helps speed application development
26 July 2006
Test & Measurement
LeCroy's new PCI Express analyser called the PETracer Edge is based on a card platform that supports x1/x2/x4 lane widths at 2,5 GBps speeds. The Edge Analyser is supported with the same application used on LeCroy's PETracer ML and EML platforms.
According to the company, customers of the PETracer have found the breadth of features ideal for many different types of development projects. Some of these projects because of geography and market segment are under tight budget restraints and this new platform will support these new markets where cost is an issue, says LeCroy.
The Edge Protocol Analyser will be offered in two versions: Pro and Expert. The company says that Pro users will appreciate the low cost but still get the utility of a fully featured analyser, while Expert users will recognise advanced features that enable deep analysis for error troubleshooting of bus management and protocol operation issues. For example, users can monitor in realtime various statistics like bus throughput and link utilisation for all transactions and packets that occur on a given link.
