Running Utilities Locally from a Terminal Window

Use the terminal window if the workstation is connected directly to the signal processor through the Ethernet.

RCP often runs on the same machine. If it is on a separate machine, it is connected the workstation through an Ethernet or serial line.

  1. To start a terminal on the local workstation, right-click the desktop and select New window.
  2. Type the name of the utility followed by any options (for example, -demo).

    Type & after the utility name to free-up the terminal after the utility is started. For example:

    $ ascope -demo &

    Type utility names in lower case. To view a list of available options, type the name of the utility and the option -help. For example:

    $ ascope -help
