LeCroy Introduces High-End Protocol Analyzer

Chestnut Ridge, NY -- LeCroy Corporation announced the introduction of the PETracer Gen2 Summit, its fourth-generation protocol analyzer for PCI Express. The PETracer Gen2 Summit device allows developers facing time constraints to bring products to market sooner and at a lower cost. LeCroy's PETracer Gen2 Summit targets the growing demand for advanced PCI Express solutions.

"The PETracer Gen2 Summit has exceptional competitive advantages that will strengthen LeCroy's leadership position in the protocol analyzer market," said LeCroy Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Scott Bausback. "The industry's adoption of critical new standards such as PCI Express Gen2 is a strategic growth driver for LeCroy. We believe the PETracer Gen2 Summit will gain widespread acceptance for its fast response time and ease-of-use, positioning LeCroy as the go-to Company for PCI Express solutions. Looking forward, we are well positioned to continue introducing more powerful and innovative desktop tools that accelerate the product development cycle."

The PETracer Gen2 Summit doubles LeCroy's acquisition bandwidth, delivering more accurate results and faster error location times than other analyzers. The PETracer Gen2 Summit captures and analyzes at data rates up to 5 Gb/s based on the new PCI Express 2.0 specification, but also operates at speeds as low as 2.5 Gb/s for Gen1 compatibility. The high-end analyzer features real-time monitoring tools, protocol traffic summaries, detailed error reports, powerful scripting and the ability to create user-defined test reports.
