At the command prompt (as root user), type the following:
service xinetd start
chk config telnet on
chk config xinetd on
Start the KTE software
To start the KTE software, first start the instrument controller (IC) process. To start the IC process, log
on to the computer and enter the following command:
run_ic.pl
The IC process must be started manually after you log on.
The first time the IC process is started after a new KTE software installation, all instruments in the
TSP-Link
®
network are initialized, which may take a few minutes. A status message is displayed on
the TSP master instrument (Model 2450) during this process.
After the initial software installation,
run_ic.pl
initializes only the TSP-Link master instrument, and
the other TSP instruments in the system execute the appropriate TSP script without delay.
IC process log messages
The
run_ic.pl
script sends any output messages from the IC process to the
$KILOG/ic_<QMO>_YYYYMMDD_HHMM.log
file, where:
<QMO>
is the QMO number of the tester.
YYYYMMDD_HHMM
is the date and time when the IC process was started.
The IC process by default only outputs
DEBUG
and
ERROR
messages. You can use the
KI_TRACE_LEVEL
environment variable to define the minimum level of messages to display. Valid
values of this variable are:
TRACE
,
DEBUG
, and
ERROR
. After changing the environment variable, the
IC process must be restarted by executing
$KIHOME/IC/bin/run_ic.pl
.
Stopping the IC process
To stop the IC process, enter the following command:
$KIHOME/IC/bin/stop_ic.pl
