Teledyne LeCroy Script Execution
40 Summit Z3‐16 PCI Express Multi‐Lane Exerciser User Manual
To create or edit a .peg file, use the Script Editor.
Figure 4.7: Script Editor
The Script Editor is a text‐editing tool that can be opened by clicking or selecting
File>New from the menu bar.
Alternatively, the traffic generation file can be created by exporting the data from a
CATC Trace into a traffic generator file.
4.5 Script Execution
As mentioned above, each time a script is executed, the configuration settings for the
Summit Z3‐16 Exerciser are reprogrammed. When the Start generation button is pressed,
the script is uploaded to the Exerciser hardware and executed immediately. The progress
of the script can be tracked in the Exerciser Control Bar at the bottom of the screen.
Subsequent executions of the same script do not require upload of the script to the
Summit Z3‐16 Exerciser, however, as mentioned above, the generation options are still
reprogrammed.
Script execution can be throttled using Wait commands inserted directly into the script.
Waits can be time based, require receipt of certain packet types, or can even require User
input from the GUI.
After the script is complete, any enabled PCI Express behaviors, such as SKIP insertion,
Flow control, and ACK generation, continue. This allows you to run multiple scripts, one
after another, without interrupting the Link state.
