This option gives users full remote control of the unit via TCP/IP

Sockets to allow any aspect of the unit to be modified or queried.
This allows quite complex applications to be created to perform

test and measurement functions such as automated testing of

routers or other broadcast equipment.

PHABRIX

®

products act as a server and listen on a port waiting

for incoming requests from clients such as a PC. Using this

method of communication the Sx range can provide a variety of

information to the control device it is connected to and be

controlled in specified areas of the product using the command

details included.

All visual controls on the product have an associated command.

Messages may be sent to ‘set’ or ‘get’ data from a command i.e. if

you ‘set’ a value the unit will be configured accordingly and a reply

returned and if you ‘get’ a value from the PHABRIX

®

unit it will

reply with that value. All messages are acknowledged to increase

the security of the interface i.e. closed loop communication.

The control structure can be selected as Passive or Active.

Passive control allows simple remote control where the host PC is

in control and sends commands when it wants to change data or

get information. It is this method which is the most popular use for

remote control.

Active control is when the PHABRIX

®

unit synchronizes with the

host PC. Any changes on the PHABRIX

®

unit will result in a

message being sent to the host PC. This method is useful for

controlling a PHABRIX

®

unit from another unit or via the PC

simulator software. It requires more complex software on the host

to respond to the returned messages.

The option provides a programming guide with command

information and examples on a CD. A Windows™ application for

testing the interface is also provided as part of this option.
