PCIe link health evaluation in as little as 2 min.

A first-to-market PCIe testing tool like no other

The first of its kind, the Tektronix TMT4 Margin Tester is a specialized PCIe testing tool that enables fast and easy evaluation of the link health of PCIe Gen 3 (8 GT/s) and Gen 4 (16 GT/s) devices. Supporting most common PCIe form factors like CEM, M.2, U.2, and U.3, it is capable of linking with the majority of the PCIe devices available today.

Using a single PCIe-enabled 16-lane high density cable and connectors, the Margin Tester can be adapted to test system boards or add-in cards in seconds. Complete evaluation of the transmitter and receiver link health of PCIe Gen 3 and Gen 4 devices can be conducted in as little as 2 minutes. It is truly in a class of its own.

The TMT4 Margin Tester re-imagines the way that PCIe link health testing is performed. As an active link partner with the device under test (DUT), the instrument is capable of controlling presets and link training parameters of the DUT directly, providing insights into potential design flaws on a lane-by-lane or preset-by-preset basis. Evaluating the link health of your PCIe Gen 3 & Gen 4 devices has never been easier.
