HP Caliper 5.3 User Guide (5900-1558, February 2011)

You will need to copy the appropriate GUI client (in the gui_clients subdirectory) to your

Windows or Linux desktop system and unpack it. Then, start the GUI from your desktop using the

following executable file. Invoke it from a shell prompt or double-click it in a folder:

• On Windows: Caliper.exe

• On Linux: Caliper

At startup, the GUI prompts you for the login information needed to connect it to the remote HP

Caliper server on the Integrity system where you want to make measurements. See Figure 12.
