Emulation

SAS: To perform a capture with SAS Initiator Emulator generated bus traffic, click
File > New > SAS Protocol Analyzer (Initiator Emulator).
SATA: To perform a capture with SATA Host Emulator generated bus traffic, click
File > New > SATA Protocol Analyzer (Host Emulator).
Program the Initiator Emulator or Host Emulator, then set up a capture, as described in
"Protocol Analysis" on page
Note:
When it runs, the emulator turns on the voltage on all channels, whether they are turned on or
off previously. The emulator does not execute any command until its link is established. So if the
power is off on any channel, the emulator will not proceed even if the first command is a Power
On command.
