Keysight Technologies, Inc. PCI Express electrical performance validation and compliance

software provides you with a fast and easy way to verify and debug your PCI Express 3.0, 2.0,

for add-in cards and motherboard systems (as per the PCIe CEM specification).

The PCI Express electrical test software allows you to automatically execute PCI Express

electrical transmitter tests, and it displays the results in a flexible report format. In addition

to the measurement data, the report provides a margin analysis that shows how closely your

device passed or failed each test.

The PCI Express electrical test software utilizes the prescribed test methods and algorithms

as required by the PCI Express Card Electromechanical (CEM) specifications for all current PCI

SigTest utility, but also provides you with a fast and easy means of executing complex two-port

motherboard tests and single port add-in card test with total automation.

In addition to transmitter testing, the PCI Express electrical test software also provides an

optional receiver test calibration test suite, which allows you to setup your N4903B JBERT

bit error ratio tester for performing PCI Express 3.0 jitter tolerance testing under the PCIe 3.0

BASE specification.

The PCI Express electrical performance validation and compliance software performs a

wide range of electrical tests as per the PCI Express PCI Express 2.0 and 1.1/1.0a. electrical

specifications for add-in cards and motherboard systems as documented in Section 4 of the

base specification and Section 4 of the card electromechanical specification.

Tests for PCI Express 3.0 (based on section 4.3.3.10 and 4.3.3.13) are also included to help you

test your products against for the next generation of this powerful I/O technology.

In addition to full swing (800 mV) testing, the software also supports testing for low-power,

half-swing devices (400 mV) as per the PCI Express Architecture Mobile Graphics Low-Power

Addendum to the PCI Express Base Specification Revision 1.0.
