vi Automation API  for Teledyne LeCroy SAS/SATA Protocol Suite

Introduction

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.

Support Resources

As new functionalities are added to the API, not all of them are supported by older versions of the analyzer software. For newer releases of analyzer software, please refer to the Teledyne LeCroy web site: www.teledynelecroy.com

 Automation API for Teledyne LeCroy SAS/SATA Protocol Suite 1

Teledyne LeCroy Teledyne LeCroy SAS/SATA Protocol Suite COM API Object Model

Setting Up Automation for Local Use

To run Automation on the Sierra/STX Host Controller (the host machine attached to the Sierra/STX), you do not need to perform any special configuration. You can simply execute the scripts or programs that you have created, and they will run the analyzer. To use the Teledyne LeCroy SAS/SATA Protocol Suite COM API, the application should be registered during the installation process as a COM server in a system registry.

Setting Up Automation for Remote Use

To access Teledyne LeCroy SAS/SATA Protocol Suite COM API remotely over a network, install the application on both server and client systems and accept the Enabling Remote Access option during installation. You can also perform a manual DCOM configuration.

Teledyne LeCroy SAS/SATA Protocol Suite COM API Object Model

The Teledyne LeCroy SAS/SATA API programmatically exposes its functionality through objects. You work with an object by using its properties and methods. Objects are named according to the portion of an application they represent, and they are ordered in a hierarchy. 

A single object occupies the topmost tier of Teledyne LeCroy SAS/SATA API object hierarchy: SASAnalyzer. 

The following object model diagram shows how the objects in the object model fit together:

2 Automation API for Teledyne LeCroy SAS/SATA Protocol Suite

Teledyne LeCroy SAS/SATA Protocol Suite COM API Object Model Teledyne LeCroy

Only the SASAnalyzer object is creatable at the top level (for instance, via the CoCreateInstance call from a C/C++ client). Instantiation of an object of other classes requires API calls. 

The Class ID and App ID for the SASAnalyzer object are the following.

Class ID: SASAnalyzer 12A4B62B‐107A‐42AE‐9C56‐08C5EC3C26E2

AppID: SASAnalyzer Lecroy.SASAnalyzer

All interfaces are dual interfaces that allow simple use from typeless languages (like VBScript), as well as from C/C++. 

All objects implement the ISupportErrorInfo interface for easy error handling from the client.

* Primary interfaces

The examples of C++ code given in this document assume using the “import” technique of creating COM clients. That means the corresponding include is used: 

#import "SASAutomation.tlb" no_namespace named_guids

Appropriate wrapper classes are created in .tli and .tlh files by the compiler. 

Examples of WSH, VBScript, and C++ client applications are provided.

This function gets the file of pre emphasis signal and loads it to the board.

Parameters

bstrPreEmphasisSignalFile Specifies the file name of pre emphasis signal.

Return Values

True if it loads the file successfully. False if it fails.

Remarks

The Pre emphasis dialog in the SAS/SATA software gives the probability of saving the signal settings into a file. By calling this function, you can load that file into the board without running the SAS/SATA software.

ISASAnalyzer::SetTracefileNameHRESULT SetTracefileName ([in] BSTR bstrTraceFileName)

This function sets the name of next running generated trace file.

Parameters

bstrTraceFileName String providing the name of the trace file

Remarks

Calling this function sets the next running generated trace file name. If you do not call this function, then the trace file name will be the same as the Analyzer project file name. 

This function helps you create different trace files when you want to run a project several times with different settings (such as connection speed). Before any run, call this function to change the trace file name.

Note:This is used to change the trace‐file‐name, (if user wants to). In case it is not set, the trace‐file‐name would be the same as the analyzer‐project‐file‐name. Use/Example: In case the user wants to capture different trace(s) using the same Analyzer object (say running more than one generation‐script in a loop ). In this case he/she can set the different names using this API in each iterations (otherwise they will be overwritten with the same filename).

Exports Spreadsheet View and Frame View into a text file, while allowing you to specify a range of packets.

Parameters

file_name String providing the full file pathname for the exported trace

export_view_type VIEW_TYPE can be: COLUMN_VIEW (0), FRAME_TEXT_VIEW (1) [valid parameter for this method], PACKET_VIEW (2), WAVEFORM_VIEW (3), ST_REPORT_VIEW (4), SPREAD_SHEET_VIEW (5) [valid parameter for this method], HISTOGRAM_VIEW (6), BUS_UTILIZATION_VIEW (7).

from_row Beginning packet number when you are exporting a range of packets. 0 = first packet of the exported trace is the first packet of this trace.

to_row Ending packet number when you are exporting a range of packets.–1 = last packet of the exported trace is the last packet of this trace.

Return Value

ANALYZERCOMERROR_UNABLESAVE Unable to export trace file

Remarks

Use this method if you want to export a recorded or opened trace into a text file. If the 

display options apply to this trace (see ITrace::ApplyDisplayOptions or 

ISASAnalyzer::LoadDisplayOptions), then hidden packets would not be exported.

If the packet range specified is invalid (for example packet_to is more than the last packet 

number in the trace, or packet_from is less than the first packet number in the trace, or 

packet_from is more than packet_to), then the packet range is adjusted automatically.

ISASVerificationScript Interface

The ISASVerificationScript interface is an interface for the SASTrace object. It exposes the trace functionality for running verification scripts. This interface is not dua, which means that scripting languages cannot use it directly, though all of its methods described below are exposed to script languages through the primary automation interface of the SASTrace object. 

Remarks

Verification scripts are scripts written in a special manner using the CATC Script Language (CSL). These scripts can be “run” over a recorded trace to “verify” the trace for some verification conditions or to extract more advanced information from the trace. Such scripts use a special feature of the Teledyne LeCroy SAS/SATA Protocol Suite application, its Verification Script Engine. 

Please refer to the SASTracer Manual, SASTracer Verification Script Engine Manual, and File Based Decoding Manual for more details. 

Attention

The functions of this interface may be legally called either for regular traces or multi‐segmented traces. The VSE will open segments of the multi‐segmented trace during script execution when needed.

SASVScriptEngine Object Teledyne LeCroy

SASVScriptEngine Object

The SASVScriptEngine object allows you to run verification scripts over the recorded trace. 

It extends the functionality of the ISASVerificationScript interface of a SASTrace object. The main advantage of a SASVScriptEngine object is that it allows clients implementing 

_IVScriptEngineEvents a callback interface to receive notifications when a verification script is running. 

The SASVScriptEngine object can be created by calling

ISASVerificationScript:: GetVScriptEngine. 

The SASVScriptEngine object supports the following interfaces: 

The IVScriptEngine interface is a primary interface for the SASVScriptEngine object. 

Remarks

Verification scripts are scripts written in a special manner using the CATC Script Language (CSL). These scripts can be “run” over a recorded trace to “verify” the trace for some verification conditions or to extract more advanced information from the trace. Such scripts use a special feature of the SAS/SATA Protocol Suite application, its Verification Script Engine. 

Please refer to the SASTracer Manual, SASTracer Verification Script Engine Manual, and File Based Decoding Manual for more details.

Interfaces Description

IVScriptEngine Provides advanced control over the verification script and allows you to execute the script asynchronously.

Parameters

pResult Address of the variable where the results of the verification are kept

Return Value

Remarks

The name of the verification script is the name of the verification script file (*.pevs). If only the script name, without a file extension, is specified, the Sierra/STX server searches for the named script among the scripts loaded from the \Scripts\VFScripts folder under the SAS/SATA Protocol Suite installation folder. If the full path to the script is specified, then the server attempts to load the script from the specified path prior to running it.

Remarks

This method makes a “synchronous” call, which means that this method does not return until the script stops running. 

The name of the verification script is the name of the verification script file (*.pevs). If only the script name, without a file extension, is specified, the Sierra/STX server searches for the named script among the scripts loaded from the \Scripts\VFScripts folder under the SAS/SATA Protocol Suite installation folder. If the full path to the script is specified, then the server attempts to load the script from the specified path prior to running it.

Parameters

Return Value

S_FALSE  If VS Engine was not successfully launched 

(either it is already running, or the verification script was not found)

Remarks

This method makes an “asynchronous” call, which means that this method immediately returns after the script starts running. 

When the verification script stops running, the VSE object sends a special event notification IVScriptEngineEvents::OnVScriptFinished to the client event handler. You can also terminate the running script using the method IVScriptEngine::Stop.

Example

C++:

// This example uses wrapper functions provided by the #import directive.

ISASTrace* sas_trace;

SASVScriptEngine Object Events

_IVScriptEngineEvents Interface

To retrieve event notifications from the Teledyne LeCroy SAS/SATA Protocol Suite application when a verification script engine object is running the script, you must implement the _IVScriptEngineEvents callback interface. Since this interface is a default source interface for the SASVScriptEngine object, there is a very simple implementation from languages such as Visual Basic, VBA, VBScript, and WSH. 

Some script engines impose restrictions on handling events from “indirect” automation objects in typeless script languages (when an automation interface to the object is obtained from a call of some method, rather than from creation function, such as CreateObject() in VBScript). The SAS/SATA Protocol Suite application provides a special COM class, allowing receiving and handling of notifications from a VSE object even in script languages not supporting event handling from "indirect" objects. 

Example

The C++ implementation used in the examples below implements an event sink object by deriving it from IdispEventImpl, but not specifying the type library as a template argument. Instead, the type library and default source interface for the object are determined using AtlGetObjectSourceInterface(). 

A SINK_ENTRY() macro is used for each event from each source interface that is to be handled: 

Example

C++: class CVSEngineSink : public IDispEventImpl<IDC_SRCOBJ_VSE, CVSEngineSink > { public: ... BEGIN_SINK_MAP(CVSEngineSink) // Make sure the Event Handlers have __stdcall calling convention. SINK_ENTRY( IDC_SRCOBJ_VSE, 1, OnVScriptReportUpdated )

SINK_ENTRY( IDC_SRCOBJ_VSE, 2, OnVScriptFinished ) SINK_ENTRY( IDC_SRCOBJ_VSE, 3, OnNotifyClient ) END_SINK_MAP() HRESULT __stdcall OnVScriptReportUpdated ( BSTR newLine, int TAG ); HRESULT __stdcall OnVScriptFinished( BSTR script_name, VS_RESULT result, int TAG ); HRESULT __stdcall OnNotifyClient (int eventId, VARIANT eventBody, int TAG);

Then, after you have established the connection with the server, you must advise your implementation of the event interface: 

IVScriptEngine vscript_engine = NULL;

try { vscript_engine = vscript ->GetVScriptEngine( "Test_1" ); } catch (_com_error& er ) { SetStatusError( er ); }

SASVerification API

The SASVerification API allows you to write scripts to automate SASVerification tests and generate the results in a RTF files. 

Steps

Following are the steps (example w.r.t vbs) to be followed in order to run SASVerification API:  

1. Create a SASVerification object using the CreateObject function.

Set SASVerificationObj = WScript.CreateObject("LECROY.SASVerification")

2. Connect to a board using the Attach method.

SASVerificationObj.Attach( 2, “040000104C00F4DA”)

3. Initialize the SASVerification, using the initialize method.

SASVerificationObj.Initialize( ReportFileName, DeviceName, TracesPath, 0)

4. Add the test(s), using AddTest method.

SASVerificationObj.AddTest( 0 )SASVerificationObj.AddTest( 1 )

5. Finally, Run the SASVerification, using the method RunSASVerification

SASVerificationObj.RunSASVerification()

6. Once done, simply detach the boards using detach method.

Teledyne LeCroy STCompliance API

STCompliance API

The STCompliance API allows you to write VB scripts to automate compliance tests and generate results as RTF files. 

VB Script

To run a test using an STCompliance API VB script:

1. Create an STCompliance object using the CreateObject function:

Set ComplianceObject = CreateObject("LECROY.STCompliance")

2. To attach to the board, use the Attach function to specify connection type, board ID, and installed‐software path:

nErrorCode = ComplianceObject.Attach(2,"020000104CC47777","...\ ATA_Protocol_Suite_3.90.336 \")

For USB connection, use 2 as the first parameter, as in the above example.

For TCP connection, use 4 as the first parameter.

The Board ID (second parameter) combines two numbers. The first four digits

specify USB or TCP connection, and other number specifies the actual Board ID.

For USB connection, use 0200 as the first four digits, as in the above example.

For TCP connection, use 0400 as the first four digits.

The last parameter is the "system" folder of your software. 

3. To add tests, use the AddTest command to specify test IDs:

bRetVal = ComplianceObject.AddTest(TEST_GDR_01)bRetVal = ComplianceObject.AddTest(TEST_GDR_02)...

A list of available tests and their IDs is in

ComplianceTestsEnum at the end of this section.

4. To run the tests, call the RunCompliance function:

bRetVal = ComplianceObject.RunCompliance()

5. To detach from board after the STCompliance run finishes, call the Detach function:

nErrorCode = ComplianceObject.Detach()
