Notes:
- Order P/N: ICE-SONETR5 For Module With Interface To ICE PIC5XL or PIC6
- The ICE-PIC4T is capable of 200 MBytes/Sec input or output of data. Using the SonetR5 module would require the user to demux input data rates and "clone" output data rates that are higher than the 200 MByte/Sec maximum throughput of the ICE-PIC4T. Therefore, realtime capture or playback of a full OC48 signal is not possible using a SonetR5 and ICE-PIC4T due to the data rate limitations of the ICE-PIC4T. The ICE-PIC5T is capable of over 800 MByte/Sec input and output of data. Therefore, dual OC48 signal input and outputs are supported without the use of demux or cloning functions.
- ICE-PIC4T and ICE-PIC5 series of cards have different and unique I/O module interfaces. (Each has different I/O module connectors.) Therefore, SonetR5 modules ordered with the PIC4T interface connections, (P/N: RI(ICE)-SonetR5-P4) are not capable of being used with an ICE-PIC5T. Also, SonetR5 modules ordered with the PIC5T interface connections, (P/N: RI(ICE)-SonetR5-P5) are not capable of being used with an ICE-PIC4T.

C Program Date : December 27, 2005
Program works with ice318b11 (and higher). Support for SonetR1, R2, R4 and R5 modules. To build the software copy the zip package to <install path>/iceXXX/test directory. Where <install path> is the directory structure where the ICE software package iceXXX was installed. iceXXX represents the software version-ice318b11, ice318b18, etc. Unzip sntcfiles.zip to produce 2 files: testsnt.c and buildsnt.lnx. Finally, to build the software type: source buildsnt.lnx Sourcing the build script will causing the program testsnt to be built. During compilation of testsnt, progress messages will be printed to the user.
Zipped version of testsnt.c AND buildsnt.lnx: sntcfiles.zip
testsnt C Program Explanation/Examples
New testsnt.c program examples:
./testsnt <mod type> <card number> <"acq" or "play"> <size in GBytes> <loops> <port number>
<path & filename> <flags>
<mod type> module type r1, r2 ,r4, r5 For Sonet Modules SonetR1, SonetR2, SonetR4,
SonetR5, respectively
<card number> ICE PIC card number in system, 0 for first card, 1 for second card, etc.,
depending on which card is in use
<"acq" or "play"> acq will cause the card/module to acquire data, play will cause the
card/module to playback data
<size in GBytes> size of acquisition or playback in GBytes
<loops> represents the number of times to "loop" through a file for playback,
always set = 1 for acquisitions
<port number> set to 1 for operation on port 1, set to 2 for operation on port 2,
set to 3 for operation on both ports 1 & 2
<path & filename> acq, specify path & filename of where data is to be written or play,
path and filename for playback of data
<flags> see flag descriptions and examples above
Examples of using the flags above with the testsnt program
The examples make 2 assumptions:
- The OS driver was setup to allocate enough memory for card usage.
- The testsnt program will request from the driver:
- 640 MBytes for OC48 rates
- 256 Mbytes for OC24 rates
- 128 MBytes for OC12 rates
- 64 MBytes for OC3 rates
- The testsnt program will request from the driver:
- Therefore, for the desired data rate, the driver previously must have been setup to allocate at least the amount requested.
- The disk RAID (mounted on /raid for the examples below) used for acquistions/playbacks is capable of writing/reading at the example signal rates.
- OC48-320Mbytes/Sec, OC12-80Mbytes/Sec, OC3-20Mbytes/SEC
Note the use of commas and no spaces between flags at the end of the command line string.
