VIAVI Xgig 6P16 PCIe Protocol Analyser And Exerciser
The VIAVI Xgig 6P16 PCIe Protocol Analyser And Exerciser supports protocol debugging and validation of PCI Express systems, devices and links.
Analyse Host-To-Endpoint Protocol Traffic
The analyser captures and decodes traffic between a host and endpoint to investigate PCIe, CXL and NVMe protocol behaviour. Support for PCIe FLIT and non-FLIT operation helps engineers assess both new PCIe 6.0 workflows and earlier-generation devices. Separate upstream and downstream capture memory retains traffic in both directions.
Generate Repeatable Exerciser Test Cases
In exerciser configuration, the system can emulate a Root Complex or Endpoint and generate controlled traffic. Selectable link rates and widths, transition control and saved test configurations help reproduce difficult protocol problems. A scripting API supports more complex user-defined sequences.
Track Link Behaviour And Debug Efficiently
An LTSSM state tracker with a history log helps investigate link training and state transitions. PCIe 6.0 functions include support for FLIT mode, FEC and TS0 ordered sets. The Xgig software tool suite includes Trace Control, Expert and Serialytics for capture and analysis workflows. Analyser/exerciser applications use the corresponding interposers and configuration.

Configuration And Selection Notes
64 GT/s is a transfer rate, not 64 GB/s. The multifunction chassis requires the appropriate application hardware and software configuration. Protocol analysis and traffic generation should not be described as a complete electrical compliance test solution.
