System Performs Fibre Channel Analysis

Working in conjunction with Hewlett-Packard's logic analyzers, FS4300 Fibre Channel Analysis Probe gives users a powerful tool for debugging, testing and verifying compliance of Fibre Channel based systems. The probe provides an electrical and mechanical interface from a Fibre Channel link to Hewlett-Packard logic analyzers for passive analysis. Also provided is software to set up the HP logic analyzer to allow powerful state analysis in real time on Fibre Channel transactions. This test solution is capable of latching Fibre Channel signals at a rate of 1.063 Gbps using standard GBIC modules. System uses a buffered version of the Fibre Channel clock, clocking data into the logic analyzer via the FS4300 probe. The FS4300 includes a powerful inverse assembler that displays Fibre Channel transactions as they are executed. It can also analyze 1 Fibre Channel link with 68 logic analyzer channels or 2 Fibre Channel links with 136 channels. AT THE SITE: data sheets, price lists, links and ordering information.
