Sierra? M6-1 SAS and SATA Protocol Test System - 1

Sierra™ M6-1 SAS and SATA Protocol Test System S Protocol Solutions Group Product Datasheet P d tD t h t 6 Gb/s Flexible, Portable and Affordable! Key Features The Sierra M6-1 prod ducts are ultra-portable single-port systems with models available that function as a protocol analyzer or as an error injector. Measuring just n 6.25” wide, 1.38” high and 9.0” deep (15.9 x 3.5 x 22.9 cm) and weighing in at h 1.7 lbs (0.77 Kg), Sie M6-1 systems are incredibly compact units that fit easily erra into a corner of a brie efcase or backpack. Capable of operating at 1.5, 3 or 6 Gb/s data rates and equipp with up to 4 GB of recording memory, the Sierra M6-1 ped offers world-class pro otocol analysis or error injection capability at price points within reach of every budge et. ■ 6 Gb/s SAS/SATA protocol analysis or error injection ■ Native PHY for fast lock time ■ Easy mode triggering ■ Cascade capability, up to 8 ports ■ Sync with other LeCroy Sierra™ and STX family products ■ Hardware filtering ■ Automatic error detection ■ Comprehensive decoding of SAS and SATA data traffic ■ Logical and chronological traffic displays Sierra M6-1 systems come standard with both USB and GbE interface ports for maximum flexibility in connecting to the PC which serves as the host for analysis or n error injection software. The versatile GbE port can be used for either local or remote network conn nectivity. Sierra M6-1 systems can be linked together in cascaded configuratio to provide additional recording channel capacity or used in ons capacity, tandem to combine s simultaneous error injection and trace capture/analysis capabilities (requires multiple Sierra M6-1 units, at least one licensed as a protocol analyzer model and o licensed as an error injector model). one ■ Statistical reporting Expert Analysis Sof ftware ■ Trace memory of 2 or 4 GB ■ GbE & USB 2.0 host interfaces Flexibility to meet a debug challenge any When configured as a protocol analyzer, the Sierra M6-1 offers all the protocol analysis features as o other products in the LeCroy SAS/SATA product line. The analyzer software off y fers an intuitive GUI combining easy setup with flexible data g y p analysis displays. Th packet view logically assembles frames and primitives that he are part of a specific SAS or SATA command. Users are able to quickly view the completion status of any command, which e is especially useful in addressing system-level debug challeng ges. Statistical reports provide event and error counters, as well as performance metrics, that give users a snapshot into c captured traces and rapid access to items of interest. InFusion™ Error Injection The Sierra M6-1 InFusion models perform as a stand-alone 1.5, 3 or 6 Gb/s version of the LeCroy InFusion Error Injector, allowing engineers to verify error recovery characteristics of th designs. An easy-to-use pop-up menu interface allows the heir creation of customized test scenarios in just minutes. The use can program on-the-fly modifications t any fi ld within any ti f t i dt t i i j t i t Th er th fl difi ti to field ithi frame, as the data moves across the link. Any primitive or dat pattern can be intercepted and changed to a different userta specified pattern. Examples include support for changing DWORD values, disconnecting links, and forcing various error conditions such as an intermittent CRC error or running dispar errors. This enables unprecedented corner case rity modification for SAS and SATA traffic, which is especially usef during final test and integration cycles. ful
