A low cost PCI Express protocol analyser with interchangeable interposers for probing has been released by Teledyne LeCroy. The company advises its new Summit T24 Protocol Analyser supports PCIe data transmission rates up to 5GT/s and data lane widths up to x4 in this single compact unit.

The instrument supports upgrade paths from low-cost base units to higher data rates and larger lane size.

If you are developing embedded boards for military and telecommunications, storage SSDs or consumer products, the Summit T24 is a very cost effective way to get the job done,” said John Wiedemeier, Product Marketing Manager for PCI Express Protocol Analysis, Teledyne LeCroy.

“The new Summit T24 PCI Express 2.0 protocol analyser offers many of the same high-end features found in our larger platform protocol analysers.”

The new instrument supports all of the company’s existing PCIe 1.0 and 2.0 application-specific interposers and probes, which can be connected to a wide variety of different physical designs. Each interposer is designed for reliable data transmission between hosts and devices and for quick set up times for testing new hosts or new devices.

The analyser includes the company’s PETracer software, covering vital data analysis views such as:

•          LTSSM/Substate Views

•          Hierarchical Views

•          BitTracer Views

•          Data Views

•          Flow Control Views

•          Configuration Space Views
