platform. It has eight SFP+ 10 GigE / 16G FC ports. Up to 64 GB of capture memory allows for capturing of extensive

The SierraNet M168 ports allow signals to pass through without re-timing, ensuring that the test platform is as transparent
as possible. The analyzer can be controlled either via a one (1) Gigabit Ethernet connection to the local network or via a
USB 3.0 (up to 5 Gb/s) connection. The SierraNet M168 provides the user with easy-to-understand control panel and LED
indicators.
Major features of the M168 include triggering on back-to-back events, use of counters within trigger conditions, and
multi-state (up to 24) triggering and filtering state machines with four transitions per state.
The Net Protocol Suite software for controlling the analyzer and displaying the captured data installs on the latest
