Introduction
The Summit Z58 is Teledyne LeCroy's fifth generation protocol exerciser (traffic generator), providing support for the PCI
Express 5.0 specification with up to x8 lanes and up to 32.0 GT/s data rates. The Summit Z58 can emulate either a PCI
Express Root Complex or Device Endpoint, allowing new designs to be tested against known standards.
In addition to the exerciser features, the Summit Z58 can optionally be configured to include analyzer capabilities that
would make it a self-contained solution for PCI Express development. Use this document for quick installation and setup.
If you experience problems or need more information on latest software version and for host machine requirements, see
the Readme file or the Summit Z58 User Manual on the PCIe Protocol Analysis Software installation or at the Teledyne
