Root Level Commands

FlexOTO Instance:
Hardware Diagram

The three root level commands are provided to launch, end, or query the state of FlexOTO's Station processes: :START, :STOP and :RUNNing?. Send these commands to the FlexOTO's Hardware Diagram HiSLIP address which is:

TCPIP0::<computer name>::hislip0,4880::INSTR

Notice in the above address that the HiSLIP identifier is 0. After you start a Station, send any session commands to the Station's HiSLIP address. The Station's address uses a HiSLIP identifier which is an integer from 1 through 16 as listed in this table.

Station 13 TCPIP0::<computer name>::hislip13,4880::INSTR
Station 14 TCPIP0::<computer name>::hislip14,4880::INSTR
Station 15 TCPIP0::<computer name>::hislip15,4880::INSTR
Station 16 TCPIP0::<computer name>::hislip16,4880::INSTR

When your finished running your test plans, send :STOP to FlexOTO's Hardware Diagram address to end all Stations.

Root level commands can only be sent to a FlexOTO Hardware Diagram. Sending these commands to FlexOTO Station will result in an error.
