DOCID-ICE-SONET-r6-2024110

C Program Date: Sept, 9 2012

Program works with ice361-08 (and higher). It includes support for SONET-r1, -r2, -r4, -r5, and -r6 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. The directory iceXXX represents the software version; e.g., ice361-08, ice361-10, 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.

The testsnt.c C program has been updated to work with 64 bit operating systems and compilers.

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>
   → <path & filename> <flags> <port number>  <path & filename> <flags>

<mod type>           module type r1, r2 ,r4, r5, r6 For SONET Modules SONET-r1, SONETR2,
                     SONET-r4, SONET-r5, SONET-r6 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:

  1. The OS driver was setup to allocate enough memory for card usage.
    The testsnt program will request from the driver:
    • 4048 MBytes for OC48 rates
    • 512 MBytes for OC12 rates
    • 128 MBytes for OC3 rates
    Therefore, for the desired data rate, the driver previously must have been setup to allocate at least the amount requested.

  2. The disk RAID (mounted on /raid for the examples below) used for acquisitions/playbacks is capable of writing/reading at the example signal rates.
    • OC192-1280Mbytes/Sec
    • 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.
