Chapter 1: Introduction
This document contains a description of the Teledyne LeCroy Verification Script Engine (VSE),
a new utility in the SATASuite/SASSuite software that allows users to perform custom analyses
of SAS/SATA traffic, recorded using the new generation of SAS/SATA protocol analyzers.
VSE allows users to ask the SASSuite/SATASuite application to send some desired "events"
(currently defined as Primitive/Frame/Transaction/Command) from a trace to a verification
script written using the Teledyne LeCroy script language. This script then evaluates the
sequence of events (timing, data, or both) in accordance with user-defined conditions and
performs post-processing tasks; such as exporting key information to external text-based files
or sending special Automation/COM notifications to user client applications.
VSE was designed to allow users to easily retrieve information about any field in a SAS/SATA
Frame/Transaction/Command and to make complex timing calculations between different
events in a pre-recorded trace. It also allows data filtering-in or filtering-out with dynamically
changing filtering conditions, porting of information to a special output window, saving data to
text files, and sending data to COM clients connected to a SASSuite/SATASuite application.
