• Provides three 24-byte packet header recognizers (on any combination of bits)
• Supports upstream and downstream directions or two unrelated single direction links
• User can select lane inversion and lane numbering reversal as needed to probe the board under test
• User can set probe into 10 bit mode (external reference clock required) to view 8b/10b encoded data to debug phy level and link initialization problems. Lane deskew, 8b/10b error checking are included. Packet delimiters are visible in the listing.
• Probe Manager software executing on a PC controls probe over a USB interface in real time
