Querying for running
applications
Once the test unit is in remote control mode, the following commands may be useful to
determine what applications can be launched.
> :SYSTem:APPLication:APPLications?
Get a list of available application names. The return value for this command depends
on what is currently running. To get the list of all applications the unit supports, send
this query when no applications are running.
TermDs1Bert,ThruDs1Bert,SingleMonDs1Bert,...
> :SYSTem:APPLication:CAPPlication?
Get a list of identifiers for applications that are currently running.
TermStm4Au3Vc3Bert_121,TermEth1GL3Traffic_122
> :SYSTem:APPLication:LAUNch?
Get the identifier of the most recently launched application.
TermEth1GL3Traffic_122
Launching an
application
Once the test unit is in remote control mode, the following commands may be sent to launch
an application (in this example, 1GigE L3 Traffic Terminate).
> :SYSTem:APPLication:LAUNch TermEth1GL3Traffic
Launch the application (same as "Add test" on the GUI; other running applications will
not be shut down by this command). This may take a few seconds...
> :SYSTem:ERRor?
This command may be sent in the mean time, but will not be processed until the appli-
cation launch is finished.
0, "No error"
Once the application is running, this message will be returned.
> :SYSTem:APPLication:LAUNch?
Get the id of the most recently launched application.
TermEth1GL3Traffic_121
> :SYSTem:APPLication:SELect TermEth1GL3Traffic_121
Select that application id.
> :SYSTem:ERRor?
0, "No error"
> :SESSion:CREate
