Automation API for Teledyne LeCroy SAS/SATA Protocol Suite
1
Introduction
The Teledyne LeCroy SAS/SATA Protocol Suite software provides a rich COM/Automation
API to the most important functionalities of the Teledyne LeCroy Sierra/STX Protocol
Analyzers and Teledyne LeCroy Sierra/STX Exercisers for implementation of automated
programs for complicated testing, development, and debugging. The "dual" nature of the
interfaces provided makes it easy to use the Teledyne LeCroy SAS/SATA Protocol Suite
COM API in the different Integrated Development Environments (IDE) that support the
COM architecture.
Special support for typeless script languages (such as VB and JavaScript), while overriding
some restrictions imposed by script engines (remote access, dynamic object creation, and
handling events), allows you to write client applications quickly and easily. You do not
need significant programming skills or installation of expensive and powerful
programming language systems. All these features, along with the ability to set up all
necessary DCOM permissions during the installation process, make the Teledyne LeCroy
SAS/SATA Protocol Suite an attractive tool for automating and speeding many engineering
processes.
System Requirements
The Automation API was introduced with the following release:
Teledyne LeCroy SAS/SATA Protocol Suite software 2.60/4.60.
This document covers the functionality available in
Teledyne LeCroy SAS/SATA Protocol Suite 4.0 and above.
