Figure 23: Remote operation of the ANT-20SE.
CATS DLL
The CATS DLL runs on the calling PC (under Windows 2000, Me, NT
or WIN95/98) and communicates with the ANT-20SE via a standard
remote control interface (RS232, GPIB or TCP/IP). The customer soft-
ware runs on the same PC and communicates directly with the DLL.
CATS ANT-20 remote controlled via TCP/IP
CATS TCP/IP is a different way of controlling the ANT-20SE in an
automated environment. It is a special version of the CATS Test
Sequencer that runs on the ANT-20SE itself. The customer's auto-
mation software can send commands to execute complete CATS test-
cases and receive results via an Ethernet socket connection. This
approach comes in handy in a UNIX based environment where DLLs
don't work.
The option includes the functionality of Test Sequencer CATS BASIC.
Remote Operation BN 3035/95.30
These options allow operation of the ANT-20SE from a Windows PC.
The complete ANT-20SE user interface is transferred to the PC screen
via modem or LAN link. This means that all the functions of the
instrument can be used from any remote location. The results are
simply transferred to the controlling PC for further processing.
Applications include troubleshooting networks or centralized
operation of test instrumentation and devices in the production and
system test environment.
The package provides remote operation via a PCMCIA or external
modem (V.24/RS232) which must be purchased separately or provides
remote operation via an Ethernet socket.
