PCI Express Signal Path Characterization
Recommended Test Equipment for PCI Express Signal Path Characterization
| Recommended Equipment | Quantity | |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling Oscilloscope | DSA8200 Sampling Oscilloscope | 1 |
| Modules | Electrical Sampling Modules 80E08 | 2 |
| Software | IConnect® S-parameters and Z-Line software 80SSPAR | 1 |
| Probes¹ | 18 GHz 100 Ω Differential Impedance TDR Hand Probes | 2 |
| Additional information | Using an oscilloscope which can be connected to the Logic analyzer via GBIB and IView software, analog traces can be captured and displayed together with the digital trace in a time-correlated manner on the TLA screen. | |
¹ Hand-probes only needed R&D, not for compliance testing.
