serFrdly

Purpose:

Spawn a serial port interface between a test cell and a Queue Manager.

Enter:

serFrdly <client = name> [file=specFileName] [asc_root=name]

Where:

client=name

Required. Specify the name of the client to place in the queue for access to an emission bench. The ‘name’ must be one of the entries in the /specs/iQueue_specs file. 

file=filename

Optional. Specify the iQueue spec filename that is read by all iQueue processes. The default is /specs/iQueue_specs.

asc_root=name

Optional. Specify the root name of the spec file  used by ASC. It is also the root name of the events that are created to allow communication between the ‘client’ and this process. The default is IQUE.

Example:

serFrdly client=tc1 &
The above spawns the serial port interface and places it in the background. The serial port is connected to a device that has been assigned the name ‘tc1’. The default spec file ‘/specs/iQueue_specs’ and ASC root device name of ’IQUE’ will be used

serFrdly client=tc2 file=/specs/bench_specs asc_root=BNCH
The above spawns the serial port interface and places it in the background. The serial port is connected to a device that has been assigned the name ‘tc2’. The spec file ‘/specs/bench_specs’ and ASC root device name of ‘BNCH’ will be used.
