Remote Operation Getting Started Guide
Working with applications
Transport Module, DMC, MSAM, and 5800 Remote Operation

Examples:
Launch 2G Fibre Channel on port 1 (or port 2 if port 1 is unavailable)
> :SYSTem:APPLication:LAUNch TermFc1GL2Traffic
Launch 2G Fibre Channel on port 2
> :SYSTem:APPLication:LAUNch TermFc1GL2Traffic 2
Another key difference from launching the test on the GUI is that in remote control, the test
will come up in the "stopped" state, leaving most test results unreadable. The remote
control user should usually send the :INITiate command after initializing the remote
session.
:SYSTem:APPLication:LAUNch?
Adding a question mark (?) to the end of the launch command will query for the application
identifier of the most recently launched application. This identifier may be used to select the
application using the :SYSTem:APPLication:SELect command.
Example:
> :SYSTem:APPLication:LAUNch?
TermFc1GL2Traffic_121
Select an Application
:SYSTem:APPLication:SELect <application id>
This command selects a specific running instance of an application, which directs all subse-
quent commands to that application. It must be sent after the application is launched and
the unique id for that application instance has been obtained.
The application id will be the application name followed by a 3-digit number. The first two
digits represent the "slice" number and the "side" number where the module is located (see
the documentation on Connecting to Remote Control for more explanation of these), and
will always be the same within a particular remote control connection. The third digit repre-
sents the port number: 1 or 2. The example below shows two instances of the same
ethernet application, one running on port 1 and one running on port 2, and the command
to select the one running on port 1.
Example:
> :SYSTem:APPLication:CAPPlications?
TermEth10ML2Traffic_121,TermEth10ML2Traffic_122
> :SYSTem:APPLication:SELect TermEth10ML2Traffic_121
> :SYSTem:ERRor?
0, "No error"
Remote Control
Session
Commands
A remote control session maintains information about a specific connection to an applica-
tion. Once an application has been selected, a remote control session must be created and
started before the user can interact with the application.
