• Powerful and Intuitive CATC Trace Analysis Software - The CATC Trace embeds deep understanding of the PCI Express protocol hierarchy and intricacies and presents this knowledge to you in a colorful, intuitive and easy to use graphical display, allowing you to quickly capture and validate PCI Express product designs
• Lane-to-Lane De-skew - Records and automatically de-skews multi-lane links for accurate analysis
• Protocol Hierarchical Viewing - View Packet, Transaction, and Split Transaction levels of the PCI Express protocol. Drill-down for detailed PCI Express primitives, errors, payloads or individual packets
• Link Tracker™ Trace Display - Chronologically display all DWORDS on all channels synchronized to a common clock
• Advanced Triggering - Allows you to trigger on various PCI Express Events such as Link Conditions, TLP Headers, DLLP Messages, Data Payload, etc.
• Lane-Reversal Compatible - Trigger, record, and display PCI Express traffic logically regardless of the physical configuration of the lanes
• Statistical and Error Reporting - Provides you with a quick summary of the trace file to identify and track error rates, abnormal link or timing conditions

Hardware Features

• CATC 100K-based System - LeCroy's advanced platform for protocol analysis specifically built for high-speed protocols like PCI Express.
• Powerful real-time BusEngine Protocol Processor technology - Sophisticated triggering and filtering helps you focus on critical protocol data and isolate important protocol traffic, specific errors or data patterns.
• Non-Intrusive Probing - The PETracer EML employs a high-impedance, non-intrusive probing technology allowing fully unaltered data pass-through. Whether the design utilizes a card-edged solution, or implements the PCI Express link between circuit board components, PETracer EML provides support for both a slot interposer card and a mid-bus probe.
