For today’s SAS and SATA developers and integrators, verifying design robustness and error recovery
can be a challenging task, especially when it is difficult to duplicate test cases and customer issues.
Troubleshooting is further complicated by ever-climbing storage capacities, network architectures, data
rates, and protocol complexity. The BusMod Error Injector gives designers the ability to insert a variety
of errors into a live data stream to test real-time error handling, system recovery, and duplication of
issues seen in the field. Used in conjunction with the BusXpert SAS/SATA analyzers, users can easily
verify correct and incorrect responses to issues caused by the error injector. BusMod’s error injection
provides the ability to create random and defined line errors such as CRC or 8b10b encoding errors,
modify or replace frames, frame data and primitives.
