Automating Commands with ScriptSDK



For automating test procedures on 881 and 882, you can try our new tool called ScriptSDK. With ScriptSDK you can write simple C++ programs that use our command language, similar to the way you can issue commands via serial port or telnet. For many applications, ScriptSDK is much more flexible and useful than the Sequence Player.

ScriptSDK has 2 parts. First, the development environment is run from the home page of the 882’s web interface. The first time you run it, you need to be connected to the internet, because it will download the package from our website, and install it on your computer. From the development environment you can write programs, compile, and load them into the 881 or 882.

The other part is the script runner on the 881 or 882. From the TOOLS menu, you can press the down arrow to see the ScriptSDK menu selection. When you select this, you will see a menu of the scripts currently in the 882, and you can press a soft key to execute a script.

You can read more about ScriptSDK in the current version of the 881/882 User Guide, available on our downloads page: http://www.quantumdata.com/downloads/index.asp

A few notes about ScriptSDK:
  1. It was new in the 2.18.1 firmware release. Only release 2.18.1 or newer contains the script runner functionality.
  2. Currently the “Load & Execute” command does not always properly download the object file to the 881/882. You can use the development environment to compile your programs, and then use FTP Browser to download the object file (such as sample.o) to the /tffs0/Library/Scripts directory of the 881/882. Then you can execute the scripts as usual from the ScriptSDK menu.
You will find many example scripts in the installation package, available after you install ScriptSDK.
