1. Remotely Control FlexOTO Stations
This programmer's help documents the SCPI commands needed to build FlexOTO Hardware Diagrams and run Station Test Plans. However, we recommend that you:
- Build the Hardware Diagram using the graphical user interface as this task should rarely be done or changed. Use Setup files to save your configuration.
- Write programs to build and run Test Programs on each launched Station.
If you decide to write scripts for the Hardware Diagram, take a look at this example script, which demonstrates a complete setup.
See the following table for the VISA addresses that FlexOTO automatically assigns to Stations. Notice that the hislip address index is shown in red to highlight that the index matches the Station number.
Send FlexOTO programming commands to FlexOTO's Stations. Never send FlexDCA or FlexOTO commands to FlexDCA or the optical switch.
