The Ancot SCSI Bus Analyzer/Emulator, Model DSC-216, is a tool for the development, integration, and repair of SCSI devices. This instrument can monitor and portray on the screen every facet of information about SCSI operation of the monitored SCSI environment. The display format is in plain English for ease of understanding. The DSC-216/FxE can be used as a SCSI Initiator (host) emulator, programmed for manual or automatic testing. Packaged in a small lightweight portable briefcase, it is exceptionally well suited for field applications where portability and high reliability are important.
Models with SCSI emulator use VLSI SCSI controller and function as an initiator with user programmable SCSI ID#. Interactive emulation is controlled from pre-programmed SCSI command set in EEPROM. Support for SCSI-2 FAST & WIDE (16 bit), custom SCSI commands, program macros, various SCSI device types provided.
The DSC-216 is a highly portable, advanced, versatile, user-configurable SCSI Bus Analyzer. This instrument was designed for the following applications:
- Development work in the laboratory
- Production test
- Field service applications
The DSC-216 Tracer/Analyzer provides a comprehensive SCSI event tracer and debugger with powerful triggering capability. It provides displays of SCSI Bus activity in a variety of formats for easy interpretation.
The SCSI Bus Analyzer is used for recording activity on the SCSI Bus to which it is non-intrusively connected. Its circular buffer can hold up to 32K events (standard), 128K or 512K events (optional). The recording method is 'event driven'; only valid data or transitions on certain SCSI signals are recorded.
At the time of recording, each event is time-stamped. The recording can later be played back in several forms. It can be displayed on a built-in electroluminescent (EL) flat screen, or sent to a printer to provide a hard copy. Recorded data can be up-loaded to a host computer, and saved on a disk to build a data base for post processing. Optionally, it also can be saved in a non-volatile ("Mirror") memory to be examined later.
The display of recorded SCSI Bus activity can be in two basic forms: a "binary" format similar to a time-domain form of logic analyzers, or a "structured" format which is an interpreted "SCSI-English" form, easily understandable. Other, more specialized display formats are also available.
