TRADE NEWS: Agilent Technologies Introduces Tools at Intel Developer Forum that Speed Validation of Computer Products.SAN FRANCISCO -- Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today announced a line of products to speed the design and validation of computer products with fully buffered DIMM Fully Buffered DIMM (or FB-DIMM) is a memory technology which can be used to increase reliability, speed and density of memory systems. Conventionally, data lines from the memory controller have to be connected to data lines in every DRAM module. (FBD FBD Fluid(ized) Bed Dryer FBD Fully Buffered DIMM (memory) FBD Free Body Diagram FBD Far Beyond Driven (album) FBD Functional Block Diagram(s) ), serial ATA (SATA (Serial ATA) A serial version of the ATA (IDE) interface, which has been the de facto standard hard disk interface for desktop PCs for more than two decades. The original Parallel ATA (PATA) interface was launched in 1986. ), serial attached SCSI See SAS. (SAS (1) (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, www.sas.com) A software company that specializes in data warehousing and decision support software based on the SAS System. Founded in 1976, SAS is one of the world's largest privately held software companies. See SAS System. ), PCI Express and Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 Processor products. "With the introduction of technologies and standards that enable more memory and faster bus speeds, engineers face new debug and validation challenges," said Ron Nersesian, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Design Validation Division. "Agilent leads the industry in providing comprehensive suites of tools for FBD, SATA, SAS, PCI Express and Intel Pentium 4 Processor validation so engineers can design products with increased speed and improved communications demanded by today's marketplace." Agilent's new validation products being demonstrated at IDF (Intermediate Distribution Frame) A wiring rack located between the MDF (main distribution frame) and the intended end user devices (telephones, routers, PCs, etc.). Cables run from the outside world to the MDF and then to the IDFs. See MDF and wiring rack. include the following: --Agilent's industry-first comprehensive suite of test tools that provide designers complete visibility from the physical layer to the protocol layer for systems using FBD. The suite's eight products provide unprecedented visibility into an FBD system when combined with Agilent's logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, vector network analyzers (VNAs), bit error rate testers (BERTs) and pulse generators. More details about the FBD test suite are available at www.agilent.com/find/fbd. --The Agilent N4219B packet analysis probe, the industry's first single-protocol analysis probe for SATA and SAS packet analysis, provides a convenient and reliable connection to a customer's DUT DUT Dutch (language) DUT Device Under Test DUT Diplôme Universitaire de Technologie (French University Graduation in Technology) DUT Dalian University of Technology (also seen as DLUT) to debug a SATA-1, SATA-2 or SAS, speeding time to market for companies developing storage solutions. More information is available at www.agilent.com/find/n4219b. --The Agilent E2960 Series with protocol analyzer, exerciser and compliance test card, the industry's most complete protocol testing tool portfolio for PCI Express. The series dramatically increases test coverage, quality and speed, allowing effective debug, test and validation of new designs like chipsets, add-in cards, computer systems and servers. More information is available at www.agilent.com/find/E2960_series. --Agilent's E2969A protocol test card for PCI Express, which offers preprogrammed topology (BIOS) compliance tests in addition to existing add-in card compliance tests to help ensure that designs are high quality and compliant to the required standards. More information is available at www.agilent.com/find/E2969A. --Agilent's remote management and keyboard, video, mouse (KVM (K Virtual Machine) A version of the Java Virtual Machine for small devices with limited memory. See J2ME. See also KVM switch. KVM - Keyboard Video Mouse ) solutions, which support the first Intel(R) Xeon Processor at 3.60 GHz and the Intel(R) E7520 chipset. These comprehensive solutions eliminate the need for onsite server management staff, saving costs by enabling total remote control even if the server is powered down or a new OS installation is required. The products provide OEMs with a precustomized solution supporting the latest Intel architecture, eliminating time-consuming BIOS integration or lengthy customization cycles. More information is available at www.agilent.com/find/rmc. --Agilent's E8045B analysis probe enables the connection of logic analyzers to the Intel Pentium 4 LGA LGA abbr. large for gestational age LGA Large for gestational age, see there 775 processor. The probe's extremely low mechanical and electrical intrusion provide engineers unprecedented visibility into the Intel Pentium 4 Processor LGA775 designs to help reduce troubleshooting time and speed design validation and time to market.
