Analyser exercises PCI Express protocols
Agilent Technologies has introduced the industry's first complete and integrated x1 to x16 protocol analyser and exerciser solution for PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0.
The 11713B model drives a combination of two programmable attenuators and two SPDT switches, or up to 10 SPDT switches concurrently.
Each unit has built-in GPIB connectivity.
USB and LAN (LXI Class C) connectivity options are also available.
The Agilent 11713C controls a combination of four programmable attenuators and four SPDT switches, or up to 20 SPDT switches concurrently.
With an integrated tri-voltage selection of 5, 15 and 24V, along with an input port for user-defined voltage, the switch driver has the capability to drive most commercially available switches.
The 11713C features multiple connectivity options, including GPIB, USB and LAN.
It is fully compliant with LXI Class C specifications, giving users the flexibility to perform remote access and control via a web browser or from the front panel.
Both models offer nine cable options, which enable a point-to-point connection from Agilent attenuators and switches to the attenuator/switch driver.
A built-in counter helps to monitor the life cycles of the attenuators and switches in the test system.
As a result, maintenance management is dramatically simplified.
"The new attenuator/switch drivers complete the broad range of attenuation and switching solutions that Agilent provides and is designed to be fully backward compatible with the highly successful legacy model 11713A", said Estee Tan, Marketing Manager of the Agilent Electronic Measurement Group's Test Accessory Operation.
"Because it is simple to configure, and easy to use -- either as a stand-alone instrument or integrated into ATE systems -- customers now have a solution that addresses their growing need for short setup time".
