Layout

The .ssg file has several colored bars that represent global settings. The bars show the
current configuration of the generation file. Example settings are:
As changes are made and saved to the traffic generation file, the bars immediately
update. The traffic pattern to generate appears below the bars as a series of frames. You
can edit the traffic generation file to add, edit or remove frames.

Overview of Generation and Global Settings Files

Example .ssg files and Include files are in two directories called \Samples and \Include
that are typically installed in: C:\Program Files\LeCroy\SAS Protocol Suite\Generation.

Traffic Generation (*.ssg) Files

The .ssg traffic generation files are text files consisting of include statements, a
generation block, and optionally global statements.
The generation block is the code responsible for the actual traffic generation. It is marked
by the tag Generation. The composition and format of the generation block is described
later.
The include statements provide links to the Include files, which provide the definitions
for primitives, frames, and settings that hold for most or all of the generation session
(global settings).
The definitions for SAS and SATA traffic are contained in LeCroy‐provided Include files:
Settings.inc, PrimitivesDecl.inc, AddressFramesDecl.inc, SSPFrames.inc, SMPFrames.inc,
and SSPFrames.inc.
