Data Sheet VIAVI Solutions The PCIe® Exerciser/Analyzer generates PCIe 6.0 data streams and responses for in-depth testing and analysis at 64GT/s. The VIAVI Xgig® PCIe 6.0 Exerciser/Analyzer, the 6P16, brings the next generation of high-speed 64 GT/s test capability to the Xgig PCIe product portfolio. The Exerciser is a valuable tool for debugging difficult protocol communication problems because it provides full, bit-level, repeatable control for generated PCIe 6.0, CXL® and NVMe® data traffic. The Analyzer allows detailed views of traffic between a host and endpoint device, supporting PCIe Flit Mode, Non-Flit Mode, CXL, and NVMe. The Exerciser generates PCIe compliant traffic and can be configured to emulate the operation of a Root Complex (RC or host system) or an Endpoint (EP) device. Ordered Sets (TS0, TS1, TS2, etc.), and TLP, DLLP, and LTSSM sequences can be defined, transmitted, and even modified in real-time based on user configuration. The 6P16 Exerciser enables detailed validation and debug of the state machine of a PCIe 6.0 controller. It can provide insights for performance tuning of firmware and application software. The 6P16 can be programmed to generate non-compliant PCIe sequences to enable testing of boundary and stress conditions that are not normal to correct system operation and would otherwise be very difficult to evaluate. • Generates and responds to PCIe 6.0 64GT/s traffic • Operates at 64GT/s PAM4, and supports all other PCIe data rates of 2.5, 5.0, 8.0, 16, and 32GT/s NRZ • 64 GB total memory (32 GB to capture upstream and 32 GB to capture downstream) • User can set Exerciser link rates and widths and control transitions to other rates • Fully integrated Analyzer/Exerciser enables a variety of test conditions • Analyzer/Exerciser supports new PCIe Flit Mode, FEC and TS0 Ordered Set • Exerciser can create unique LTSSM test conditions via user customized branching • LTSSM state tracker with history log • Versatile scripting API allows user to define, create and save custom test configurations • Powerful graphical control interface provides quick status information and fast setup of test cases • Xgig Analyzer/Exerciser tools operate on a Windows enab

Data Sheet The 6P16 Exerciser works in tight association with the Analyzer function to allow capture and decoding of complex test scenarios. Bidirectional captures can be saved for detailed analysis using VIAVI tools such as Expert™. A scripting API is available so that complex, custom Exerciser test scripts can be created; either as original or modified from pre-defined library scripts. The VIAVI PCIe 6.0 6P16 Exerciser/Analyzer Solution is a comprehensive solution with Exerciser and Analyzer functionality provided via a multi-function chassis and application-specific Analyzer or Exerciser Interposers....

Data Sheet Xgig Analyzer User Interface The Xgig PCIe 6.0 Analyzer/Exerciser user interface makes it easy to set up triggers, filters, trace depth, and start capturing PCIe traffic. The 6P16 hardware chassis and complementary Xgig software tools can support PCIe 6.0, CXL and NVMe. and with it the need for strong analysis tools to fully understand the protocol behavior. The combination of Xgig Analyzer and Expert provides the user incredible utility and flexibility in analyzing and debugging protocol issues. The analyzer can be configured to alert the user to protocol errors at every layer of...
