Sierra Trainer Traffic Generation
The Sierra Trainer is a traffic generator that can emulate a SAS initiator/target or 
SATA host/device. Traffic generation enables engineers to test designs under realistic
conditions and to transmit known errors, allowing engineers to observe how devices
handle faulty link conditions.
Traffic generation is performed via the execution of text‐based scripts. These traffic
generation files (*.ssg) contain statements about the types of traffic to be generated.
These script files can be edited with either a simple text editor such as Notepad or with
the Script Editor utility provided by the application.
To open the Traffic Generation window, click the Launch Trainer Icon in the
SAS/SATA Protocol Suite window:
