3.4 Connecting Summit Z2-16 to the DUT
The Summit Z2-16 Exerciser can test both the host and device sides of a PCI Express
link through the use of two types of adapter:
• Motherboards and host controllers: Using a device emulator. A device
emulator is an adapter card that fits into motherboards and other slotted
PCI Express devices.
• PCI Express add-on cards: Using a host emulation test fixture. A host
emulation test fixture is a box-like adapter with a slot for testing PCI Express
cards.
Both of these test devices can be purchased from Teledyne LeCroy.

The Teledyne LeCroy Device Emulator is an adapter that provides a way of connecting a
Summit Z2-16 Exerciser to a PCI Express motherboard. The emulator has two
connectors: a connector for a data cable and an edge connector for inserting the
Device Emulator into a slotted DUT.
