Protocol exerciser for PCI Express 4.0
In addition to traffic generation, protocol analysis featuring Teledyne LeCroy’s industry-standard CATC Trace and other traffic displays and data reports are available. The Summit Z416 supports exerciser functions that can be used for traffic generation and device/host emulation, as well as providing a platform for development of standardised compliance test suites. The Summit Z416 has error injection functions to enable developers to test error recovery routines. Along with the Summit Z416 Exerciser/analyser, a PCIe 4.0 test platform, PCIe 4.0 verification load board (VLB) and PCIe 4.0 verification base board (VBB) will be released to form a complete suite of protocol test tools for all developers working on or interested in PCI Express 4.0 products.
The Summit Z416 features a unified single application that incorporates traffic generation and protocol analysis. A protocol exerciser is an important part of protocol development and specification corner case testing. It provides realistic traffic to devices under test and can also emulate complex host- or device-side traffic while the protocol analyser acquires, records, decodes, analyses and displays complex high-speed PCI Express I/O streams. Users will have access to analysis and reporting capabilities. When analysers and exercisers are used together developers can create powerful script level traffic and monitor the results of all tests.
