Specifying the Connection
Setup
Once you have connected the U4301A/B module, probing hardware, and DUT in the required
configuration based on your probing requirements, the next step is to configure the connection setup
for the U4301A/B module in the Keysight Logic and Protocol Analyzer application. You use the
Connection Setup
tab of the analyzer's
Setup
dialog to configure the connection setup.
The connection setup details that you specify in this tab tells the Logic and Protocol Analyzer
software how the U4301A/B module is connected to the DUT in terms such as the probing option
used, the direction of data capture (upstream, downstream, or bidirectional), and the link width
needed. For instance, if you have connected the U4301A/B module hardware to the DUT using the
U4321A Solid Slot Interposer card in a x8 bidirectional setup, then you need to select the
U4321 Slot
Interposer Both Dir x8
as the Footprint option,
1 Bidirectional upto x8
as the Link type, and
x8
as the Link
Width in the Connection Setup tab to reflect the hardware setup that you have configured.
Probing options
While specifying the connection setup, one of the key requirements is to select the probing option
that you have used with the U4301A/B module to probe the DUT and the data capture direction in
which you have configured the hardware setup.
Broadly, there are the following probing options available with the U4301A/B module:
• U4321A Solid Slot Interposer card
• U4322A Soft Touch Midbus 3.0 probe
• U4324A PCIe Gen3 Flying Lead probe
• U4328A M.2 (M-key) Interposer
• U4330A U.2 (SFF-8639) Interposer
• PCIe Gen2 probes with the U4317A adapter. This adapter is used for conversion between the PCIe
Gen2 probes and U4301A/B PCIe Gen3 Analyzer module. The PCIe Gen2 probes supported are:
• N5315A Solid Slot Interposer for PCIe Gen2
• N4241A straight, N4242A swizzled, and N4243A split cable Soft Touch Midbus 2.0 probe for
PCIe Gen2
• N5328A Half Size Midbus probe
• N4241F/Z Flying Lead probe for PCIe Gen2
NOTE
For details on how to set up the hardware and probing connections between the
U4301A/B module and DUT, refer to PCI Express Gen3 Hardware and Probing
Guide.
For details on how to set up the chassis, U4301A/B module, and host PC, refer
to the AXIe based Logic Analysis and Protocol Test Modules Installation Guide.
These guides are installed with the Logic and Protocol Analyzer software and
