Signal Quality Analyzer Adds Sequence Editor for PCIe 6.0 Test
Anritsu significantly enhanced the Sequence Editor feature of its MP1900A Signal Quality Analyzer, a high-performance bit-error-rate tester (BERT). It allows for the intuitive, GUI-based creation of test sequences for abnormal and stress conditions. Streamlining the evaluation process for PCIe 6.0 devices, the updated Sequence Editor offers multiple critical features for next-generation device validation.
The GUI-based interface simplifies the development of complex test sequences for abnormal and stress conditions. Thanks to its multichannel evaluation capability, simultaneous testing is possible across multiple PCIe lanes to enable realistic test environments.
In addition, precision fault isolation and other advanced capabilities help engineers isolate both physical- and logical-layer errors in high-speed transmission environments. It can also improve workflow efficiency: Streamlined design and validation processes improve overall product quality and reduce time-to-market.
As PCIe 6.0 transmission speeds reach 64 Gtransfers/s, traditional signal evaluation and fault identification methods face increasing complexity. The enhanced MP1900A addresses these challenges by supporting both standard compliance testing and advanced abnormal/stress test scenarios to help prevent costly rework while improving validation efficiency.
