The GRL PCI Express® and 5.0 Receiver Test Automation Software Suite (GRL-PCIE5-RXA) provides an automated, simple and efficient way to test your PCIe® 5.0 Host and Add-In Card designs using the Anritsu MP1900A with any Tektronix or Keysight Real-Time Oscilloscope.
GRL-PCIE5-RXA features two components that can be ordered separately or together: GRL-PCIE5-RXA for testing your PCIe® 5.0 Receiver to the Base (ASIC) Specification, and GRL-PCIE5-CEM-RXA for testing end products to the PCIe® 5.0 CEM (Card Electro-Mechanical) Specification. GRL-PCIE5-RXA provides a simple user interface to automate complex PCIe® testing, and significantly reduces equipment calibration and test time.
The software runs on a Windows 7 or higher oscilloscope or PC. BASE-RXA uses the industry-standard Seasim statistical data eye simulator to establish the calibrated test channel DDJ and arrive at the final stressed eye diagram. Receiver jitter tolerance and margin testing can then be performed on the device under test.
CEM-RXA uses the VNA method for channel measurement and SigTest for all other stressed eye impairments. Jitter Tolerance and Margin Testing is offered in both versions. GRL-PCIE5-RXA also automates LTSSM training into loopback mode for RX Link EQ BER Measurement and TX Link EQ Tests.
