Connecting
PowerShell TCL
to the
PSA2400 (RackPack PSA)
Instrument
PSA Software must initially learn the IP address of
each
PowerSync chassis on the local network. In order for
PSA software to work with the RackPack PSA (PSA2400), it
must
learn the address of
BOTH
PSA chassis’
before controlling either one.
This one-time procedure is easily done using PowerShell TCL. The procedure is as follows:
1.
Set up each RackPack PSA chassis to a unique IP address
2.
Connect and power up both chassis’ on the local network
3.
Open PowerShell Tcl and enter “
N
” or “
NO
” to the initial address prompt
4.
Enter the IP address of either PSA2400 chassis
5.
Upon prompt for SECOND PSA2400 address, enter the IP address of the other PSA2400 chassis
PowerShell TCL will then open with an active connection to the first PSA address entered. At this point, any
PSA application will have ready access to the PSA2400 RackPack system.
Inventory the PSA Chassis
Once connected to any PSA Chassis, PowerShell may be used to quickly inventory the types of test resources and
the associated firmware versions of the PowerSync instrument. To see this inventory:
1.
Open PowerShell TCL or PowerShell WISH.
2.
Execute the command
psa_config –d
This will provide a full inventory of instrument resources as show in the example below.
