With advanced features such as data rates from 2.5 to 5.0 GBps, lane widths from x1 to
x4, and 2 GB of memory, the Summit T24 provides unmatched capability and flexibility for
developers and users of advanced PCI Express products.
As with other Teledyne LeCroy PCI Express analyzers, the Summit T24 leverages the
intuitive and powerful CATC Trace analysis software system, embedding a deep
understanding of the PCI Express protocol hierarchy and intricacies. The colorful, intuitive
and easy‐to‐use graphical display allows you to quickly capture and validate PCI Express
product designs.
An optional BitTracer™ mode allows bytes to be recorded as they come across the link,
allowing debugging of PHY layer problems and combining the features of a logic analyzer
format with a protocol analyzer format.
Features
 Powerful and Intuitive CATC Trace Analysis Software System: The CATC Trace
embeds deep understanding of the PCI Express protocol hierarchy and
intricacies. This knowledge is presented in a colorful, intuitive and easy‐to‐use
graphical display, allowing you to quickly capture and validate PCI Express
product designs.
 Protocol Hierarchical Viewing: Displays Packet, Transaction, Split, NVMe, PQI,
AHCI and ATA command transactions levels of the PCI Express protocol, with
increased drill‐down detail for PCI Express primitives, errors, payloads or individ‐
ual packets.
 Lane‐Reversal Compatible: Triggers, records, and displays PCI Express traffic log‐
ically, regardless of the physical configuration of the lanes.
 Statistical and Error Reporting: Provides a quick summary of the CATC Trace file
to identify and track error rates and abnormal link or timing conditions.
 BitTracer Recording Mode (optional): Records the bytes exactly as they come
across the link, allowing debugging of PHY layer problems.
 Auto Speed detection: Follows link transitions through speed changes.
 Field‐upgradeable Firmware and Engine: Positions you to receive the latest
PETracer enhancements and future additional capabilities. Allows field upgrades
