SAS is the serialized version of the popular SCSI standard, and is primarily used for server class storage. With the release of the SAS-2 specification, the maximum speed of SAS increased from 3 Gb/s to 6 Gb/s to meet the increasingly high throughput demands of the storage industry.
In addition to automated compliance testing of SAS-2 signals, QualiPHY SAS-2 also enables powerful debug capability for SAS-2 signals inside the oscilloscope. All of the waveforms tested can be saved to easily share information or rerun the tests at a later time. Root causes of failure can be quickly and easily found using all of the advanced serial data tools within the oscilloscope. These include LeCroy’s popular SDA II, Eye Doctor II, and WaveScan features.
