The Vanguard PCI Bus Analyzer is a complete solution for PCI/PCI-X debug, analysis, exercising, protocol detection, and compliance checking.
It includes a 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet interface, taking the power and flexibility found in VMETRO's range of Bus Analyzers to unprecedented levels of productivity. The bus analyzer is controlled via USB or Ethernet from a PC running Windows and VMETRO's BusView graphical user interface or an Application Programming Interface (API).
The Vanguard PCI Analyzer supports the PCI and PCI-X protocol and signaling. The PCI, PCI0SL and CompactPCI form factors share a common hardware module, called the SAM (State Analyzer Module) module, which is interchangeable between the carrier boards.
State Analyzer
The State Analyzer of the Vanguard PCI captures and displays 64- or 32-bit PCI-X/PCI bus activity up to 133 MHz with highly advanced (yet simple to use) triggering, filtering and counting capabilities. To provide optimum bus analysis for a given problem, the state analyzer offers a choice of three sampling modes, i.e. Standard Mode, Clock Mode & Transfer Mode.
Exercisers
The two Exerciser versions (basic and enhanced) available for the Vanguard PCI Analyzer are flexible and easy to use. The Vanguard exercisers allow concurrent operation of two DMA engines, a target memory with I/O and memory spaces, and a command executer. A flexible script feature allows test scripts to be made and tasks to be automated.
Protocol Checker
The product features an optional protocol checker for PCI-X and PCI. This versatile feature automatically detects up to 71 PCI-X and 45 PCI protocol errors, helping the user to track down bus hardware errors without the need to understand the nature of the problem. The protocol checker can run in the background when other analyzer functions of the Vanguard PCI Analyzer are active. As an example, the state analyzer, and the bus utilization statistics can all be active at the same time while the protocol checker runs in the background, screening the bus for errors. If the protocol checker is used as the trigger source for the analyzer(s), the state and timing analyzers will then provide a comprehensive picture of the bus activity around the point when an error was found. This helps the user to identify and correct the problem.
