The E2960A consists of a brand new set of test tools for analyzing and exercising PCI Express bus protocols. It is a highly responsive system used for debug and bring-up of PCI Express based designs such as drivers, BIOS, add-in cards, motherboards, chips and systems. The platform provides the markets first full-speed x8, x4 and x1 combined exerciser-analyzer unit for PCI Express, which also allows R&D and QA engineers to effectively validate PCI Express designs. Overall benefits include increased test coverage for higher test quality, reducing the risk of costly recalls and redesigns and faster test times, enabling faster time-to-market.
