Overview of Core Applications
All SmartBits chassis purchases include a bundled set of three programs:
• SmartWindow. A Windows-based virtual front panel used to control all functions of
all SmartCards/modules. It provides a convenient method to set up any combination
of ports, transmit heavy traffic, monitor the status of, or capture and view data
gathered by the SmartCards/modules. Refer to page 45 for more information.
• SmartLib. Provides an API programming library interface to rapid test development.
Software developers may also use it to develop programs in Visual Basic, C, or C++
in a Windows 98 environment, and C, C++ or TCL in a UNIX environment. Refer to
page 47 for more information.
• SmartApplications. A Windows-based application that automates RFC 1242 and
RFC 2544 testing for determining throughput, packet loss, latency, and back-to-back
testing under full load, and production go-no-go tests for minimum acceptable
performance levels. Refer to page 48 for more information.
Hardware and PC requirements for the applications listed above can be found in the
individual manual for each application.
To run SmartLib or script-based programs on a SparcStation or other UNIX platform,
please consult the SmartLib User Guide or the appropriate script user document for the
latest requirements.
