Plug-in Manager
A plug-in is a piece of software application that acts as an add-on to the
main software and enhances its capability. Plug-in allows the software to
host additional functionality without undergoing a major modification or
enhancement. A plug-in is not a permanent part of the software, hence
can be installed, uninstalled and updated as and when required.
The M8070A system software for the M8000 Series of BER Test Solutions
supports plug-ins. Thus, the present capabilities of M8070A can be further
enhanced by simply adding the required plug-ins.
The Plug-in Manager simplifies all the tasks related to plug-in
management. It displays list of plug-ins that are installed in the software.
For each plug-in, it displays the information such as Name, Version,
Vendor, Description, State and Build Date. In addition, the Plug-in
Manager also allows you to install, uninstall and update the plug-ins.
How to Launch Plug-in Manager
To launch Plug-in Manager, open the M8070A user interface and then go
to Menu > Utilities and then Plug-in Manager. The Plug-in Manager
window will appear as shown in the following figure:
The Plug-in Manager window displays two types of plug-ins:
• Compatible Plug-ins – plug-ins which are compatible with the current
version of software.
• In-Compatible Plug-ins – plug-ins which are not compatible with the
current version of software.
