Serial ATA SATA是一种存储接口,用于连接主机总线适配器和海量存储设备,如硬盘驱动器。


ProtoSync

 

The ProtoSync option further leverages the supported LeCroy decode annotation options (PCIEbus D, USB2bus D, USB3bus D, SASbus D, SATAbus D, and Fcbus D) installed on the oscilloscope.

ProtoSync is an option for LeCroy oscilloscopes that provides simultaneous views as follows:

  1. Physical layer waveforms (captured by a LeCroy oscilloscope)
  2. Decode annotation overlays (displayed on a LeCroy oscilloscope)
  3. Protocol analysis views (displayed in a separate software window)

The ProtoSync option further leverages the supported LeCroy decode annotation options (PCIEbus D, USB2bus D, USB3bus D, SASbus D, SATAbus D, and Fcbus D) installed on the oscilloscope. It provides the ability to export the physical layer waveform data to a separate LeCroy protocol analysis software package (the same package that provides protocol analysis views when used with a LeCroy hardware protocol analyzer), and it synchronizes the data displays between the oscilloscope and protocol analysis software package. Selecting a specific portion of the decode annotated physical layer waveform on the oscilloscope will automatically select the corresponding protocol analysis software packet display, or vice-a-versa. Thus, debug and analysis using a variety of views is very easy.

ProtoSync is especially useful for standards that support dynamic equalization (PCI Express Gen3, and forthcoming versions of SAS). Dynamic equalization is a link initialization process where training sequences communicate transmitter and receiver parameters to establish a link. In the pre-silicon stage of development, protocol analyzer hardware may not yet be available or physical layer problems may be so prevalent that a protocol analyzer may not be able to provide the desired analysis. Yet debugging dynamic equalization is usually much easier if both analog waveforms and high level protocol packet data are available and are synchronized together so as to navigate to hard-to-find details of dynamic equalization.

In addition, more mature standards (PCI Express Gen1, SATA 1.5 Gb/s, etc.) are increasingly becoming embedded in system designs. Embedded systems usually present complex attachment or probing challenges that make it difficult to conveniently connect a protocol analyzer, or the embedded system engineer may not be familiar with the protocol analyzer tool. However, the challenges around connecting an oscilloscope to the embedded system are usually already known and resolved, and the debug and validation system engineer is quite familiar with the operation of an oscilloscope. By providing the ability to view advanced protocol packet data using physical layer oscilloscope captures as a source, complex problems can be more easily debugged.

ProtoSync runs on LeCroy WaveRunner, WavePro, and WaveMaster platforms.

QPHY-SATA-TSG-RSG

 

QPHY-SATA-TSG-RSG is an automated test package for Serial ATA compliance testing which provides connection diagrams to ensure the proper setup for the required measurements, automates the oscilloscope for performing these measurements, and provides a comprehensive report of results including screenshots.

Key Features
  • QPHY-SATA-TSG-RSG supports all PHY, TSG, OOB and RSG compliance tests as described by the Serial ATA Unified Test Document Version 1.4
  • Complete automation of physical layer transmitter and receiver testing
  • QPHY-SATA-TSG-RSG provides full reporting capability including Pass/Fail indications and screen-shots from pertinent tests
  • Eye Doctor II Advanced Signal Integrity Tools enable channel emulation and equalization which aids in debugging Serial ATA compliance failures
  • SDA II allows fast eye diagram creation and jitter analysis on long memory acquisitions

QPHY-SATA-TSG-RSG is an automated test package for Serial ATA compliance testing. It provides connection diagrams to ensure the proper setup for the required measurements, automates the oscilloscope for performing these measurements, and provides a comprehensive report of results including screenshots.

By utilizing the PeRT3, QPHYSATA-TSG-RSG can perform all of the PHY, TSG, OOB and RSG tests automatically. Using a single piece of equipment, the PeRT3 can replace the Arbitrary Waveform Generator and the Frame Error Rate tester that are typically used for SATA compliance testing. This reduces the investment and makes the test setup much simpler.

The LeCroy SDA 8 Zi/Zi-A Series of oscilloscopes with the Eye Doctor II analysis package are the perfect instruments for performing Serial ATA compliance measurements and more importantly for debugging compliance failures allowing the engineers to quickly find the root cause of serial data problems.

SDA II allows the user to quickly create eye diagrams utilizing the full record length of the oscilloscope and perform jitter analysis accurately using both the spectral and NQ-Scale methods of jitter decomposition. This is critically important for properly distinguishing between random and deterministic jitter in systems where there could be crosstalk present.

Additionally, Eye Doctor II provides the channel emulation and de-embedding tools that engineers need for next generation serial data standards.

QPHY-SATA-TSG-RSG uses all of these oscilloscope features to perform the compliance tests as described by the SATA Unified Test Document.

The LeCroy QPHY-SATA-TSG-RSG automated test solution is the only solution that fully integrates transmitter and receiver testing into one test suite.

Using the LeCroy Protocol-enabled Receiver and Transmitter Tolerance Tester (PeRT3), QPHY-SATA-TSG-RSG has the ability to perform all of the 1.5 Gb/s, 3.0 Gb/s and 6.0 Gb/s SATA receiver tests as described by the SATA Unified Test Document. Also, the PeRT3 can connect to the device under test, set the device to output the proper test pattern or enter loopback mode and output the proper test pattern. Then QPHY-SATA-TSG-RSG uses the SDA 813Zi/Zi-A oscilloscope to perform all of the SATA transmitter measurements as described by the Unified Test Document. All of this can be done simply with the push of a button.

Using the TF-SATA-C, the transmitter output of the product under test can be connected between either the PeRT3 input or the oscilloscope input. Additionally, the transmitter output of the PeRT3 can be connected between either the product under test or the oscilloscope which is used for automatic calibration of the jitter output.

The ISI channel for 1.5 Gb/s, 3.0 Gb/s or 6.0 Gb/s, which is required for receiver testing, can be put in the path from the PeRT3 to the product under test.

Additionally, since all of these tests are run from QPHY-SATA-TSG-RSG, the results of the transmitter test as well as the receiver results can be created in one comprehensive report.

Finally, everything required for SATA testing can be ordered with LeCroy's SATA Bundles.

SATA Trigger and Decode


 

The SATAbus TD option provides comprehensive SATA 1.5 and 3 Gb/s protocol triggering in a WaveRunner 6 Zi oscilloscope using a true hardware protocol trigger for most efficient debug.


The SATAbus TD option provides comprehensive SATA 1.5 and 3 Gb/s protocol triggering in a WaveRunner 6 Zi oscilloscope using a true hardware protocol trigger for most efficient debug. Triggering capability includes the only SATA Special Control Symbols, SATA Special Primitives, FIS Frames, Error Frames, or Bus Condition triggers in an oscilloscope. Trigger on a specific FIS with specified register settings and ability to specify details about the specific FIS frame required to be triggered on, including specific payload values in specific locations. In addition, the SATAbus TD option provides decode annotation (described below).

The SATAbus D decode annotation option is available for most LeCroy oscilloscopes. It permits link layer decoding of 1.5, 3 and 6 Gb/s SATA physical layer signals. Decode information is annotated on the physical layer waveform. Various sections of the protocol are color-coded to make it easy to understand the protocol traffic. All protocol traffic is also displayed in a table, and a wide variety of search functionality is also included.
