The PhyView Analyzer dramatically simplifies the task of Ethernet 10/100/1000 interface testing in finished products without the need for test fixtures, test signals, scopes, and probes.
PhyView Analyzers are offered in two form factors; the multi-slot PVA-3000 and the compact PVA-3002. Both instruments support the highly innovative and fully automated 10/100/1000 PHY Performance Test Suite covering transmitter, receiver, and auto-neg behaviors of any 10/100/1000Base-T interface in any product.
