U4305A/U4305B Exerciser Card - Introduction

The Keysight U4305A/U4305B exerciser card

 

is a test and debug tool that provides features for 

testing the next generation of PCI Express technology. You can use this card to stimulate PCIe 

components on system boards and cards with various test scenarios. The Exerciser card can emulate 

a PCIe device or a topology with or without SRIOV / MRIOV capabilities and can provide test 

conditions to test components on system boards and cards. 

The U4305A/U4305B Exerciser card provides the functions of an LTSSM as well as an Exerciser to 

help you perform thorough PCIe link testing and validation testing for the DUT. As an LTSSM Tester, 

the Exerciser card helps you verify the DUT’s LTSSM state transitions and timeout implementations. 

As an Exerciser, it exercises DUT with the configured stimulus traffic. It can send TLP requests as well 

as completions to a DUT.

The U4305A/U4305B Exerciser card can emulate a PCIe endpoint and act as a Downstream 

Component (DSC) for a System Under Test. It can also emulate a root complex and act as an 

Upstream Component to stimulate a PCIe Device Under Test. Refer to the topics 

“U4305A/U4305B 

Exerciser Card as an Endpoint

 and 

“U4305A/U4305B Exerciser Card as a Root Complex

 to know 

more.

NOTE

For information on installing and configuring the U4305A/U4305B exerciser 

card, refer to Keysight PCIE Exerciser Gen3, Installation Guide.
For information on how to use the U4305A/U4305B exerciser card, refer to 

Keysight Protocol Exerciser for PCI Express, User Guide.
