Express protocol hierarchy and intricacies The colorful intuitive and easy to use graphical display allows you to quickly capture and validate PCI Express product designs In addition to a full suite of advanced hardware and software features the Summit T3 8 has user convenience and analysis features such as support for automatic lane swizzling which allows a board developer to lay out a mid bus probe pad with lanes in non standard order simplifying the design of the board Internally the Summit T3 8 maps the lanes back into their correct order and accurately displays the embedded bus traffic An optional BitTracer mode allows bytes to be recorded as they come across the link allowing debugging of PHY layer problems and combining the features of a logic analyzer format with a protocol analyzer format The Summit T3 8 supports USB and GIGE host interfaces By connecting over GIGE engineers can operate the system remotely for example install the client software on their desktop systems to control an analyzer operating in a remote lab Also multiple engineers working collaboratively can time share use of a single analyzer reducing the need for an additional analyzer for each engineer and increasing the cost effectiveness of the product Summit T3 8 PCI Express Multi Lane Protocol Analyzer User Manual 3 Teledyne LeCroy PCle Protocol Suite Analyzer Hardware and Software 1 1 3 Features E Powerful and Intuitive CATC T
