Protocol Analyzer supports 8 GT/sec data rates.
Press Release Summary:
Supporting PCI Express® 3.0 specification, Summit(TM) T3-16 captures, decodes, and analyzes PCI Express bus traffic at data rates up to 8 GT/sec per lane on bus widths up to 16 lanes. Based on CATC Trace(TM) architecture, each data view displays PCIe 3.0 transactions in unique ways to discover hard-to-find protocol errors. Documentation tools include protocol traffic summaries, detailed error reports, scripting, and ability to create user-defined test reports.
