Vanguard Express XMC Analyzer PCI Express Protocol & Link Analyzer for XMC


  • Supports x1 to x8 PCI Express
  • Analysis, Real-Time Statistics and Protocol Checker
  • 256 MB Trace Buffer
  • XMC and PCI Express card-edge form factors supported
  • Ethernet or USB host connection
  • Same GUI as PCI and VME bus analyzers

The Vanguard Express family of Protocol and Link analyzers are designed for today's engineer working with PCI Express based development. Useful for debugging, testing and validating the PCI Express protocol, the Vanguard Express analyzer allows testing of x1, x4 and x8 XMC (Extended PMC) form factor.

The Vanguard Express is designed to offer maximum flexibility for multiple form factors. In an XMC environment, a PCI Express XMC module under test is installed on top of the Vanguard Express analyzer. Installing the Vanguard Express XMC on our PCI Express card-edge carrier enables the use of one analyzer for multiple platforms. These approaches allow the PCI Express device under test to function normally, while having access to the PCI Express links.

The Vanguard Express is operated via USB or Ethernet while using our BusView 5 Graphical User Interface software running under Windows 2000 or XP. A single workstation can control multiple Vanguard analyzers for monitoring different protocols, like PCI-X/PCI, PMC, CompactPCI or VME.

Multiple Trace Views
The Vanguard Express XMC Analyzer for PCI Express protocols offers several different trace view to increase engineers' productivity. View captured data chonologically, grouped by link transaction or split transactions, traffic per lane or see packet details in a quick and easy way. A unique Data View also enables Vanguard Express users to view PCI Express data in a more PCI like method for ease of reading and interpreting the results.

Protocol Checker
The protocol checker included in the Vanguard Express XMC Analyzer automatically detects 50 errors to the PCI Express specification. This error checking enables the user to easily track down link hardware errors and logical faults without the need to understand the nature of the problem.

Statistics
The Vanguard Express Analyzer enables real-time measurement of user defined events or pre-programmed events such as transfer rates, TLP type distribution, DLLP type distribution, PLP type distribution, payload length distribution and link utilization.
