Details
This command is only applicable to TSP-Link systems. You can use this command to use the remote
master node to run a script on the specified node. This function does not run test scripts on the
master node; only on the subordinate node when initiated by the master node.
This function may only be called when the group number of the node is different than the node of the
master.
This function does not wait for the script to finish execution.
Example 1
node[2].execute(sourcecode)
Runs script code on node 2. The code is in a string variable
called
sourcecode
.
Example 2
node[3].execute("x = 5")
Runs script code in string constant (
"x = 5"
) to set
x
equal to 5 on node 3.
Example 3
node[32].execute(TestDut.source)
Runs the test script stored in the variable
TestDut
(previously stored on the master node) on node 32.
