Sierra SAS/SATA Protocol Suite, STX Software API Reference Manual
API Description 29
Introduction
The SAS/SATA API has three types of API:
• STX API: For analyzer, emulators, and Trainer
• CATC API: For analyzer and Trainer
• Infusion API: Only for Infusion
SASEngine is a COM-based library that enables programmers to use some SAS software
functionality in their programs. This library manages all hardware functions. The library includes
some internal Interfaces to detect and set device options and to program SAS hardware.
The software is for use with applications developed under COM-supported platforms, such as
Microsoft ® Visual C++™, Borland ® Delphi™, and Microsoft Visual Basic™.
First, you must use a COM-supported platform.
Second, you must follow some instructions in programs.
To use API functions, you initialize your application and attach to a board. After initializing your
application and attaching to a board, create an instance of the COM Object. Then use the API
functions.
The most important sections of the SAS/SATA Protocol Suite, STX software are Analyzer and
Emulators.
