Switch Matrix

The Keysight N5393D Option 7FP switch

matrix software tool for the PCI Express

compliance application, used together

with switch matrix hardware, enables

fully automated testing for this multi-lane

digital bus interface. The benefits of this

automated switching solution include:

– Eliminate reconnections, which saves

time and reduces errors through

automating test setup for each lane of

a multi-lane bus.

– Maintain accuracy with the use of

unique N2809A PrecisionProbe or

InfiniiSim features to compensate for

switch path losses and skew.

– Customize testing by using remote

programming interface and the

user-defined application tool for

device control, instrument control and

test customization.
