In use world wide since 1992, the STB Suite encompasses every testing software tool that you need to test, troubleshoot, configure, and diagnose any single-ended, differential, SCSI 1, 2, 3, wide or narrow devices, Ultra II, Ultra3, FC, iSCSI, SATA, ATAPI, or SAS device! The STB Suite is the SCSI, iSCSI, FC, SATA, SAS testing software that virtually every Repair Depot, OEM, Disk and Tape Manufacturer, Integrator, 3rd party solution provider, Field Service and A/V solution provider uses at the Enterprise Level in the world. If you do peripheral testing for the professional market, you should be using The STB Suite. If your job is to screen Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) or Tape Drives (including Libraries or Juke boxes) that could possibly be bad, or are flagged as bad from a customer you want to look at the Disk Manufacturing/Screening Module or Tape Manufacturing/Screening Module included with The STB Suite. The Remote Manufacturing Engine (RME) allows you to run DMM sequences to remote computers with a simple interface for finding attached drives, and launching the tests. If your job is the write a custom SCSI, iSCSI,…

      • Developer Toolbox API (DTB)The world’s most widely used SCSI diagnostic software product is now available in a reference library. The Developer Toolbox uses our proven interface to access SCSI, Fibre Channel, or ATAPI devices from Visual Basic or C++ running on 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows and Linux. This library can be integrated into all popular test and process development environments such as Visual Basic or Visual C++. Over 175 functions allow you to easily work with disk drives, tape drives, libraries, and any other SCSI/FC/ATAPI/SATA peripherals! With more tests and functions being added monthly, the Developer Toolbox is a solid and growing test development tool. In use at major manufacturers and integrators, the Developer Toolbox is the proven way to test peripheral storage devices FAST! The Developer Toolbox also includes its own stand-alone development environment, Scriptwriter Pro. Scriptwriter Pro is a Visual Basic for Applications compatible development environment that includes a debugger/editor, an interpreter/compiler, and a GUI design tool. Complete OLE-aware stand alone applications with graphical user interface can be quickly created with this tool. The Developer Toolbox The Developer Toolbox API is included with the STBsuite. This library bypasses the ASPI layer and works directly with the port driver.…
