Tektronix's logic protocol analyser modules have software capabilities to support the PCIe

PCIe is designed to be used in a wide variety of applications in order to put pressure on test instruments to track features such as dynamic link width change, dynamic speed change and lane ordering.

The company claims the PCUe features double the data rate and improved I/O bandwidth over previous generations.

According to the company, the capabilities are designed to make PCIe system debug and analysis faster and easier, and include a bird’s eye view to help engineers visualise and investigate difficult flow-control problems along with one-click calibration and auto configuration.

Functions also include one-click calibration, PCIe personalisation and auto-configuration.
