LeCroy Announces STATS; A Customizable Automated Test Suite for Serial ATA (SATA) & Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Protocol Analyzer Platforms

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LeCroy Corporation, a worldwide leader in protocol test solutions, today introduced a new protocol test application -- STATS -- enabling completely automated testing of all functions supported by the Sierra and STX class of SAS & SATA protocol analyzer instruments. LeCroy's SAS & SATA protocol analyzer platforms currently support the most industry leading functions, including Analyzer, Jammer (error injection), Generator, Host and Target Emulators. The addition of STATS provides end-users with an extensive library of test scenarios that can be tailored to their applications, dramatically reducing set-up and test times, and improving customer satisfaction. In addition, the functionality, flexibility, and simplicity provided by the new STATS application enables users to transfer typically complex design and validation test scenarios from primary design teams to test technicians and other engineering or support teams.

"Using STATS in conjunction with LeCroy's advanced SAS & SATA protocol test tools helps solve problems commonly associated with field issues that often require the return of a product for further analysis at the factory; freeing resources, saving time, and reducing the overall cost normally associated with development, debug and support," said Joe Mendolia, VP of Marketing at LeCroy PSG.

STATS provides a turnkey verification system allowing developers and protocol test engineers to pre-test devices for SAS & SATA specification conformance and beyond. The system generates user-defined traffic conditions to the product under test while the Analyzer simultaneously records and analyzes responses and provides pass/fail results. The Automated Test Suite includes a software console that manages the entire process by allowing users to run individual test cases or run a full suite in batch mode operation. When using the STATS application, users can also automate access to the full complement of advanced triggering and other configuration capabilities available within the LeCroy software, including the detection of individual platforms.

STATS Launch Promotion

To complement the release of STATS and its multi-function capability, LeCroy is offering a special promotion on three models of the SAS & SATA Sierra Analyzer platforms; the Sierra M6-4, M6-2, and M6-1. For a limited time, customers can choose two additional functions at no additional charge, a discount of up to 68% off list price.

"LeCroy is excited to introduce another industry leading capability to the SAS & SATA community," continued Joe Mendolia, VP of Marketing at LeCroy PSG. "By combining STATS capabilities with our promotional offering, we have also dramatically reduced the costs normally associated with the implementation of a valuable new test paradigm."
