The Summit Protocol Analyzer product line captures, decodes and displays PCIe 3.0 protocol traffic at data rates for x1, x2, x4, x8, x16 lane widths. Teledyne LeCroy’s PETracer™ Software Suite supports an extensive library of protocol decodes for virtually all PCIe applications. These decodes enable all Teledyne LeCroy analyzers to display data traffic with meaningful and easy-to-understand displays at multiple levels in the protocol stack, and all protocol decode libraries are included as standard features of every Teledyne LeCroy PCIe Express protocol analyzer. Key features for PCIe Solid-state Device (SSD) developers include libraries of decodes specifically designed for SSD protocols, such as NVM Express, SCSI Express and SATA Express.

SANBlaze SBExpress-RM4 test system

PRO+Micro

The SANBlaze SBExpress-RM4 test system is a PCIe® Gen4 hardware/software combination that is critical for testing U.2/U.3/M.2/EDSFF NVMe target devices. The hardware capabilities include hot plug, dual port, MI, Quarch integration, SRIS/SRNS clocking, thermal testing, voltage margining, power measurement and VDM. The VLUN software component includes a unique automated test suite called SBCert which includes over 450 built-in test scripts for testing conformance, compliance, namespace management, MI, device endurance, dual port, power & other negative test cases. The REST API allows you to define pass/fail criteria for any test. For integrators, the software also tests fabric attached devices over FC, RoCE & TCP. The ability to drive NVMe targets with a wide range of configurable attributes provides engineers with a flexible, scalable tool to simulate real disk and memory access environments and issues. Development, qualification and certification test cycles can be highly automated reducing time and surfacing issues and errors.
