Agilent unveils PCI Express 3.0 receiver test softwareSep 04, 2012 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Agilent Technologies Inc. has introduced PCI Express 3.0 receiver test calibration and transmitter test software, which provides an integrated environment for calibrating the stressed voltage and stressed receiver eye using an Agilent J-BERT bit error-ratio tester, an Agilent 90000A-, Q- or X-Series oscilloscope, an Agilent pulse function generator and Agilent PCI Express 3.0 calibration test channels. Agilent N5393C Option 004 PCI Express 3.0 receiver test calibration software provides a receiver signal calibration test suite that allows engineers to set up a J-BERT N4903B bit error-ratio tester for performing PCI Express 3.0 jitter tolerance testing under the PCIe 3.0 Base specification, the company said. By automating the calibration of the bit error-ratio test signal, engineers save test time and are able to achieve a consistent stressed eye signal, ensuring their PCIe 3.0 devices meet the requirements of the specification for jitter and voltage stress levels. The software option provides automated remote control of the J-BERT N4903B and the 81150A pulse generator, automates the calibration of stressed jitter and voltage eyes for PCIe 3.0 receiver testing, and uses PCI-SIG-recommended techniques for minimizing the impact of system noise on eye closure. "PCI-SIG values the efforts put forth by companies such as Agilent that make it easier for our members to perform exhaustive testing of the receivers on their PCIe 3.0-compliant devices," said Al Yanes, PCI-SIG president and chairman. "An important objective of the PCI-SIG is achieving full interoperability at 8 GT/s, and validation and delivery of fully compliant PCIe 3.0 receivers and transmitters is critical to achieving that objective." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
