TA660 Overview

The TA660 PCI Bus Analyzer/Exerciser has a convenient, easy to use
Easy Mode that allows you to perform 95% of your PCI bus data
capture & trigger without any programming.

An Advanced Mode offers you a powerful programming capability
for complex triggering.

The TA660 incorporates an Exerciser that generates bus transactions
to exercise the bus as a master or target while allowing you to monitor
and capture the resulting performance.

A Timing Analyzer capability is also included that allows the user to
capture bus timing violations.

Additionally, the TA660 includes Performance Analysis for real-
time and statistical measurement as well as comprehensive Device
Compliance Test capabilities.

TA660 Configurations

The TA660 may be operated in one of 3 configurations, each offering
a convenient Easy Mode which requires no programming:

State Analyzer Only

To perform a variety of data capture and trigger and bus analysis.

State & Timing Analyzer

To perform timing analysis for possible violation and to characterize
Setup & Hold limits on all or selected signals.

State Analyzer & Exerciser

To perform Device compliance testing, characterize a PCI device by
emulating various bus cycles & terminations, injecting errors and
generating traffics to measure the PCI bus response. The exerciser
may be used as a bus master to test and debug new designs.

The operating configuration is selectable on the Main Menu Bar.
