gRPC Service

gRPC (Remote Procedure Call) service allows you to connect your application to the AC Source application and bridge the bidirectional communication between the two applications. You will need to consume the gRPC service in this AC Source application by importing the provided gRPC proto files to your application.

Getting Started with gRPC Service

To connect your application to the AC Source application via gRPC service, you must first launch the AC Source application and specify a port number for the gRPC service when launching the application.

Launch the application via command prompt as follow:

C:\Program Files\Keysight\PathWave BenchVue\AC Source\PWACSource.exe --grpcServerPort=<port number>

For the "<port number>", specify a free port number on your computer.

Each time you want to use the gRPC service with the AC Source application, you will need to perform all of the steps above again.

gRPC Proto Files

By using the gRPC proto files, you can then control the AC Source application to perform various functions directly from another application without switching between the applications.

The following are the pre-installed gRPC proto files:

By default, the proto files are pre-installed at the application installed folder (C:\Program Files\Keysight\PathWave BenchVue AC Source\proto”) on your computer.
