PGY-PCIe Protocol Decode Software for Tektronix Oscilloscopes

What is PGY-PCIe Protocol Decode Software?

PCIe Protocol Decode Software

 

PGY-PCIe is a PCIe Protocol Decode software that runs inside Tektronix oscilloscope which has windows OS and easily decodes the PCIe Waveforms acquired by the oscilloscope. This reduces the debug and test time for design and test engineers while debugging link bring up challenges in PCIe interface.

 

Key features

  • Decodes the scrambled PCIe protocol packets.
  • Simultaneously decodes the PCIe protocol packets at 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, 8 Gbps and 16 Gbps present in the acquired waveform.
  • Displays the time stamp, PCIe packet type.
  • Displays the LTSSM State information.
  • Decoding of TS1, TS2, DLLP and TLP Packets.
  • Decoding of protocol packets by merging lanes to support X2 and X4 PCIe interface.
  • Export the decoded data CSV or TXT file format.
  • Report generation.

Frequently Asked Questions

1 What are the system requirements for the PGY-PCIe Protocol Decode Software?

The PGY-PCIe Protocol Decode Software is designed to run inside Tektronix oscilloscopes that operate with a Windows OS. It integrates directly with the oscilloscope to decode acquired PCIe waveforms.

2 What specific PCIe protocol elements can the software decode?

The software can decode scrambled PCIe protocol packets, including TS1, TS2, DLLP, and TLP packets. It also displays time stamps, PCIe packet types, and LTSSM (Link Training and Status State Machine) state information.

3 What PCIe data rates does the PGY-PCIe software support for decoding?

The PGY-PCIe software can simultaneously decode PCIe protocol packets at multiple data rates: 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, 8 Gbps, and 16 Gbps, as present in the acquired waveform.

4 Can the decoded PCIe data be exported or used for reporting?

Yes, the PGY-PCIe software allows users to export the decoded data in CSV or TXT file formats. It also includes functionality for generating reports based on the decoded protocol packets.
