The VIAVI Solutions Xgig® 16-Lane Exerciser for PCI Express® 6.0 brings the next generation of high-speed 64GT/s test capability to the Xgig PCIe product portfolio.   The Exerciser is a valuable tool for debugging difficult protocol communication problems because it provides full, bit-level, repeatable control for generated PCIe 6.0, CXL and NVMe data traffic. The Analyzer allows detailed view of traffic between a host and endpoint device, supporting PCIe FLIT Mode, Non-Flit Mode, CXL, and NVMe. Exerciser and Analyzer functionality is provided via a multi-function chassis and application-specific Analyzer or Exerciser Interposers. 

Benefits

  • Fully integrated Analyzer/Exerciser enables a variety of test conditions
  • Enables capture and decoding of the most complex PCIe, CXL and NVMe test cases
  • Maximum flexibility in analyzing and debugging protocol issues
  • Powerful graphical control interface provides quick status information and rapid test case set-up
  • Optimizes signal integrity at PCIe6
  • Quicker time to market and earlier revenue
  • Lower engineering costs
     

Applications

  • Analyzer allows detailed view of traffic between a host and endpoint device, supporting PCIe FLIT Mode, Non-Flit Mode, CXL and NVMe specifications
  • Allows capture and analysis of traffic flows between the Exerciser and its link partner
