Layout
The
.ssg
file has several colored bars that represent global settings. The bars show the
current configuration of the generation file. Example settings are:
Configuration
GenMode (SAS or SATA, SSC On or Off)
Link speed (1.5 Gbps, 3.0 Gbps, or 6.0 Gbps)
Type of device (Initiator or Device)
COMINIT
COMWAKE
Scrambling Mode
As changes are made and saved to the traffic generation file, the bars immediately
update. The traffic pattern to generate appears below the bars as a series of frames. You
can edit the traffic generation file to add, edit or remove frames.
Overview of Generation and Global Settings Files

.ssg

.
Traffic Generation (*.ssg) Files
The .
ssg
traffic generation files are text files consisting of
include
statements, a
generation block, and optionally global statements.
The generation block is the code responsible for the actual traffic generation. It is marked
by the tag
Generation
. The composition and format of the generation block is described
later.
The
include
statements provide links to the
Include
files, which provide the definitions
for primitives, frames, and settings that hold for most or all of the generation session
(global settings).
The definitions for SAS and SATA traffic are contained in LeCroy
