LeCroy announces major upgrade to its 6Gb/s SAS/SATA host and device emulators
(Product News, 18 Dec 2007 )
LeCroy Corp. has announced a major upgrade to its 6Gb/s traffic-generation emulators for SAS and SATA protocols. Designed to run on the LeCroy STX-460 platform, the emulators enable developers to generate valid and invalid traffic at data rates up to 6Gb/s. The new enhancements add additional capability to support connection multiplexing for both hosts and devices, as well as for the new SMP commands and emulating two hosts or two drives simultaneously.
With the new STX emulators, high-level commands can be easily defined and sent to initiator or target devices through a series of convenient pull-down menus. All traffic on the bus—including both traffic generated by the STX and returned traffic from the device under test—is captured and displayed in an intuitive trace format. Looping, iteration and a wealth of conditional statements provide for precise control of the emulator scripting routines.
