Introduction
Summit Z416
™
PCI Express® 4.0 Protocol Exerciser
Quick Start Guide
The Summit Z416 is Teledyne LeCroy’s fifth generation
protocol exerciser (traffic generator), providing support for
the PCI Express 4.0 specification with up to x16 lanes and
up to 16.0 GT/s data rates.
The Summit Z416 can emulate either a PCI Express Root
Complex or Device Endpoint, allowing new designs to be
tested against known standards.
In addition to the exerciser features, the Summit Z416 can
optionally be configured to include analyzer capabilities
that would make it a self-contained solution for PCI
Express development. Use this document for quick
installation and setup.
If you experience problems or need more information, see
the Summit Z416 User Manual on the PCIe Protocol

Suite
site.
Please see the Readme file on the installation DVD for the
