Teledyne LeCroy Summit T28 PCIe Multi-lane Protocol Analyzer QSG - Manual (Page 3)

Installing the Software
The PETracer software operates all of Teledyne LeCroy’s PCI Express Protocol Analyzer and Exerciser products and should
be installed on a Microsoft
® Windows ® -based host machine. You need to install the PETracer software on the host machine
before attaching the Analyzer to the system.
The minimum requirements for the host machine are:
•
Microsoft Windows® XP, Windows 7 (x86, x64) Windows 8 (x86, x64), Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008
and Windows Server 2012 R2 operating systems
• Processor with clock speed of 1 GHz or higher
• 2 GB of RAM
• Hard drive with at least 250 MB of free space for the installation of the software and additional space for storing
recorded data
• Display with resolution of at least 1024 x 768, with 16-bit color
• USB 2.0 port
In general, the higher the performance of the host machine, the better user experience you get. Please refer to the
Readme notes and Summit T28 User Manual for recommended configurations and additional information. User manuals
for your Teledyne LeCroy PCI Express products can be found in
Start > All Programs > LeCroy > PETracer > PCIe Protocol Suite Documents.
