Xgig 5P16 Analyzer/Exerciser/Jammer Platform for PCI Express 5.0

The VIAVI Solutions Xgig® 5P16 Analyzer/Exerciser/Jammer Platform for PCI Express® 5.0 is an integrated system that allows Analyzer, Exerciser and Jammer functionality on the same platform enabling users to cost-effectively configure equipment to best meet their individual and specific requirements.  This platform supports link and transaction testing, analysis and advanced debug, providing trigger and search capabilities designed to reduce problem resolution time—and interposer autotuning to reduce set-up time. The Xgig software tools support the latest PCIe, NVMe and CXL specifications. This versatile platform also supports Bifurcation, enabling simultaneous capture of multiple links by up to four simultaneous users for enhanced tool flexibility and lower TCO. Auxiliary ports allow multi-chassis operation.

Benefits
