LeCroy Corporation Using the Software
36 Sierra M6 ‐ 2 SAS/SATA Protocol Analyzer User Manual
Limitations Simulation Mode lets you try all of the available functions, but the system
is not capturing any real data and is displaying only

pre ‐ captured results.
Using the Software
The Sierra M6 ‐ 2 application has the LeCroy SAS Protocol Suite and the
LeCroy SATA Protocol Suite.
The LeCroy SAS Protocol Suite can be a:

Protocol Analyzer: Captures data, triggers on events, and saves. Easy Mode
allows standard Trigger and Data capture. Advanced Mode (requires license)
allows you to program custom triggering in and out, capturing, state jumps, and
timers (
See “Protocol Analysis” on page 41 ).

Protocol Analyzer Initiator Emulator: Generates bus traffic for capture. It also
has Easy Mode and Advanced Mode ( See “Exercise and Capture” on page 109 ).

Target Emulator : Acts as target ( See “Target and Device Emulation” on
page 161 ).

Protocol Analyzer
To use the software for protocol analysis, first select File > New > Protocol Analyzer for a
new project or File > Open an existing protocol analysis file: . sac for a SAS file or . stc for a
SATA file ( See “Protocol Analysis” on page 41 ). You can also open a .scs SAS Sample file or
.sts SATA Sample file. Example files are in the Examples folder. You can also use Project
Setup > Last Protocol Analyzer.
On the Capture tab, select to capture Everything or Pattern . For Pattern, select a Pattern.
You can exclude patterns and frames. You can use different patterns for pre ‐ trigger and
post ‐ trigger.
On the Trigger tab, select the trigger type. For Pattern, select the pattern.
On the Settings tab, select trigger position and memory use.
Change the Analyzer settings if necessary. Change the port Speed if necessary.
Use Advanced Mode only after you become familiar with the hardware and software and
have special needs.
