Viavi XGIG4K-PCIE4-X4

The Xgig® 4K4 Protocol Analyzer expands the family of VIAVI protocol analysis products targeting storage and other applications. It provides advanced PCIe and NVMe level trigger and search capabilities designed to reduce debug and problem resolution down time. Interposer autotuning automatically restores signal integrity by reducing insertion loss in both directions, greatly reducing set-up time. Analysis will alert the user to all protocol errors at every layer of the PCIe stack, including state and substate level errors within the LTSSM viewer.

Highlights

• 16GTps, PCIe 4.0 data rate operation. Fully compatible with lower PCIe data rates of 2.5, 5.0 and 8.0GTps 
• Link widths up to 4-lanes 
• 32GB memory (16GB Up Stream and 16GB Down Stream) 
• Memory segmentation for capture of multiple traces 
• Host-Client connection for remote debugging using Ethernet or local debugging using USB 
• SMB capture and trigger for NVMe Management Interface (NVMe-MI) observability 
• Decodes all PCIe and NVMe traffic at all layers of the stack including the TLP, DLLP, and PHY layer blocks 
• Trigger and Search events include training sequences, ordered sets, queue pairs, PRPs, Scatter/Gather Lists (SGL), SMB, etc. 
• Full support of LTSSM for PCI Express 
• Multicolored LEDs on the front panel specify link speed, lane width and performance
• Field replaceable modular fan and power supply assemblies 
• Works with Interposers for CEM slots, Flying-Lead probes, U.2 (SFF-8639), M.2, SFF-8674, OCulink, EDSFF and others 
• Supported by Xgig tool suite including Trace Control, Expert and Serialytics
