The PCI Express electrical test software

provides flexibility in your test setup. It

guides you to make connection changes

with hookup diagrams when the tests you

select require it. All PCI Express electrical

compliance tests you perform are based

on the official PCI-SIG approved set of test

fixtures. The compliance fixtures include

the Compliance Base Board (CBB2) for

add-in card testing, and the Compliance

Load Board (CLB2) for motherboard

or system testing. Connection to the

compliance test fixtures is selectable

between SMA/SMP cables or Keysight

InfiniiMax active differential probes.

Configurability and Guided Connections

be changed, you are prompted with connection diagrams and/or

photographs.
