The Bus Doctor® PCI Express Gen 2 protocol analyzer enables computing, storage, silicon, and design engineers working with PCIe technology to capture, decode, and analyze PCIe bus states, command frames, and responses, and to measure bus performance. The Bus Doctor’s interface is intuitive and employs the Bus Doctor’s legendary easy-to-use GUI software, making it the ideal analyzer for anyone developing PCIe products.

The Bus Doctor Gen 2 PCIe protocol analyzer from Finisar is a new and powerful modular tool with advanced features, such as trace buffers as large as 18.4 GBs (twice the size of competing solutions) and 4-nanosecond capture resolution. The analyzer is able to analyze not only PCIe technology but also other consumer electronics and computing protocols such as SD/SDIO, SATA, SCSI and USB.

The analyzer supports filtering, triggering, capturing and analysis of all PCIe events including primitives, training sequences, power management functions and TLP and DLLP frames. It is an appliance which is controlled by a Microsoft Windows™ PC through a USB connection. There is no need to set up DHCP or IP addressing. Just connect the analyzer to the PC and you are ready to begin. Finisar’s powerful but intuitive and easy-to-use Bus Doctor Graphical User Interface (GUI) CE 5.0 software runs on the PC. The interface allows engineers to configure the tool and to view and analyze captured PCIe information.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Patented hardware search logic makes it possible to find a PCI Express event in seconds in trace memory buffers as large as 18.4 GBs
• Completely non-intrusive and passive inline capture and analysis; 100% data capture at up to 5 Gb/s across all supported bus lane widths.
• Perform PCI Express logic and protocol analysis simultaneously — two critical functions required during design
• One interface for all Bus Doctor types— learn a single GUI to test all bus types supported by Finisar Bus Doctor Analyzers, including CE-ATA, ATA, SCSI, SATA, Firewire (IEEE1394), Compact Flash, PCMCIA, PCI/X, and USB. 14 in all
• The Bus Doctor RX may be combined with other RX Analyzers to perform multianalysis on several buses simultaneously, ensuring interoperability between multiple bus types
