Description

Tektronix – TLA7S08 serial analyzer modules provide an innovative approach to PCI Express validation that spans all layers of the protocol from the physical layer to the transaction layer. For the first time, parallel and serial acquisition modules can be utilized in both the Tektronix – TLA7S08 portable mainframe and the Tektronix – TLA7S08 benchtop mainframe offering the highest degree of flexibility. Additionally, Tektronix – TLA7S08 serial analyzer modules have unsurpassed ability to capture and trigger on PHY layer events, whether problems exists during link training or while the link is going into or out of power management states. Complete support for L0s and L1 power management is critical as power saving techniques become more prevalent in system designs. Tektronix – TLA7S08 serial analyzer acquisition capability is complemented by analysis tools which provide protocol decode and error reporting capabilities
