Xgig Exerciser for PCI Express 5.0

The VIAVI Solutions Xgig® Exerciser for PCIe 5th generation brings turn-key compliance test capability to the Xgig PCIe product portfolio. An Exerciser is also a valuable tool for debugging difficult protocol communication problems because it provides full, bit-level, repeatable control over the PCIe data traffic.

The VIAVI Xgig Exerciser enables in-depth protocol evaluation and debugging at 32Gbps per lane, as well as testing for PCIe compliance, allowing development of network technologies to meet the demands of tomorrow’s high-speed, high-performance computing applications. With a modular architecture and an implementation tightly coupled to a full-featured analysis system, the Xgig Protocol Exerciser reduces the need for extra hardware investments, while a familiar Xgig management interface helps limit training needs, minimizing overall design and development costs.
