9.3. Data Inspection and Analysis using the read Program
The read program is supplied to convert the data that has been captured by the msr program into a range of
textual forms that are suitable for human analysis or for parsing by a customer-supplied program.
The read program can be used standalone, or with plug-ins for protocols. A plug-in is provided for the RMAP
protocol, which uses the file ProtocolRx_RMAP.class.
In the simplest case, the read program (which is supplied in the Java archive file read.jar) is called using just
one parameter, which is the filename of a recording by the msr program.
java -jar read.jar <filename>
The supplied filename for the recording may not contain the usual path components, so one must set the
current working directory to that which will contain the recorded file before running the read program.
If the supplied filename starts with a non-alphabetic first character, it will be treated as an IP address, in
which case the dotted-decimal IP address of an MSR device will be opened for live streaming of the received data.
java -jar read.jar 192.168.3.40
This mechanism is useful for initial experimentation, but the processing load of the read program and the speed
of your display will ultimately affect the maximum throughput of this method. Recording to a file (with an
alphabetic first character to its filename) using the msr program, and subsequent analysis of this file, is the
recommended pattern of use of the Multi-Link SpaceWire Recorder.
