This unit
The Curtiss-Wright/VMETRO VG-SAM (Vanguard State Analyzer Module) captures and analyzes digital state transitions on PCI and PCI-X bus architectures up to 133 MHz. This specialized analyzer enables engineers to diagnose hardware and software interactions through advanced triggering, filtering, and real-time statistics. The module operates as part of the Vanguard Bus Analyzer family, delivering protocol-level visibility and error detection for complex embedded systems.
