11.1 Basic testing and further analysis
This paragraph describes how you can test your Channel Packs. You can run the test schedule and
statistics tool, without continuously monitoring (basic testing). If unacceptable peak values have occurred,
further analysis is required.
11.2 Basic testing
 Create and start the test schedule on the test server. Make sure the test schedule uses the Channel
Pack you want to validate [see also paragraph 3.7].
 Start the playback statistics tool [see paragraph 12.4].
 Run the test schedule. You do not have to monitor statistics continuously. Check peak values at the
end of the test: if the statistics tool’s outline is red [see also paragraph 12.5.4], unacceptable peak
values have occurred and further testing is required.
If peak values are instantly red from the start, run the command again to reset.
11.3 Further analysis
 Start the test schedule on the test server.
 Start the playback statistics tool as described in paragraph 12.4.
 Monitor the statistics tool to identify overloads. Paragraph 12.5.4 describes how to interpret measures.
11.4 Starting playback statistics
 Login on the test playout server, for example via PuTTy.
 Within the /system/objects/code folder, type:
./nexcommand 0 complex '{cmd=nre;subcmd=control;stats-
sw=true;perfstats-sw=true;}'
Replace
with the number of the Channel you are running the test schedule on.
Re-enter this command to reset peak values if applicable.
