Chapter 1: Overview
The Teledyne LeCroy SimPASS PE™ PCI Express Protocol Analyzer Software is a
powerful and intuitive expert software system embedding detailed knowledge of the
protocol hierarchy and intricacies, as defined in the protocol specification. It allows you
to import your simulation results and analyze them in a graphical display that has been
optimized for fast and easy navigation through a simulated traffic session. Users are
alerted as violations are detected at all levels of the protocol layering and can easily drill
down on areas of interest or collapse and hide fields that are not relevant. It is based on
Teledyne LeCroy PETracer™ PCI Express Analysis Software running in the Windows
operating system.
