Agilent E2969B
Protocol Test Card II for PCI Express
®
2.0
Agilent Technologies, the company
that provided E2969A, the gold
standard Protocol Test Card I (PTC1),
is now providing E2969B PTC II for
PCIe™ 2.0. The Agilent PTC II will
enable device compliance with the
PCI-SIG® by providing 13 mandatory
test cases. This test capability will also
facilitate industry deployment of the
PCI Express® 2.0 technology.
PTC II (E2969B)
PTC II is an electrical implementation
running at 2.5 GT/s and 5.0 GT/s,
and supports all link widths, from x1
to x16. Further more, the PTC II can
be plugged into any host platform for
system testing, or be connected to an
add-in card.
A Graphical User Interface (GUI)
provides selectable test execution with
a single mouse click.
An intuitive HTML Compliance Report
displays the test results: passed tests
in green, warnings in yellow, and failed
tests in red. A detailed test report
makes it simple to understand the
cause for failure, and can be used for
troubleshooting and debugging.
Compliance Assured Test Package
(N5309A-COM)
For complete product assurance, a
simple software upgrade takes you to
the Compliance Assured Test Package
(N5309A-COM), with an additional 180
recommended tests.
The Compliance Assured Test Package
includes transaction layer, link layer,
electrical layer and configuration space
tests to ensure high quality product
releases and reduce test and debug
time.
The Compliance Assured Test Package
is easy to run and utilizes the same
GUI and HTML reporting model as the
mandatory tests.
