Teledyne LeCroy SierraNet M408 Protocol Analyzer

The SierraNet M408 analyzer is Teledyne LeCroy’s 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 40 Gigabit Ethernet and 16 Gigabit Fibre Channel Analyzer and Jammer platform. The M408 has eight SFP+ 10GigE/16G FC and two QSFP 40GigE ports. The M408 is very portable and can also be rack mounted (1U form-factor). Up to 64 GB of capture memory allow extensive line-speed capturing.

Major features of the M408 include triggering on back-to-back events, use of counters within trigger conditions, and multi-state (up to 24) triggering and filtering state machines with four transitions per state. The analyzer supports “Super Jumbo” events up to 64K.

The M408 ports allow signals to pass through without re-timing, ensuring that the test platform is as transparent as possible.

The analyzer can be controlled with either a 1GbE connection to the local network, or a USB connection. The SierraNet M408 provides the user with an easy to understand control panel and LED indicators.
