Teledyne LeCroy PCI Express 2.0 Mid-Bus Probe for Summit T24 - Manual

Introduction
Teledyne LeCroy's PCIe 2.0 (Gen2) mid-bus probe supports quick
and easy probing at data rates up to 5 GT/s through a simple probe
footprint designed into the PCB.
Mid-bus probes are used by system designers to probe embedded
bus signals (e.g., for serial data buses that run between chips on a
single circuit board) or simply as a convenient means to access
bus signals with a probe connector. The probe is easily attached to
an retention module mounted on top of a mid--bus footprint that is
laid out on the target test system board.
The Teledyne LeCroy PCIe 2.0 mid-bus probe uses a universal
retention module consisting of two pieces that can accommodate
both "half size" (PCIe x4 lanes) or "full size" (PCIe x8 lanes)
mid-bus footprints. Two x8 mid-bus probes can be connected to a
Summit T3-16 Analyzer and will support x16 lane widths. These
probes can be used in conjunction with the unique lane swizzling
feature on the Summit analyzers (see section 4 for details), which
allows probe signals to be reorganized logically, to give developers
additional flexibility in PCB layout.
