to the EE Polling Interval. Also see Chapter 9,
Troubleshooting/EmulationEngine Busy or Not Responding.
Max Messages Per Interval: Specify the maximum number of
messages to be sent in each poll: 1...128.
EE Polling Timeout: This entry defines the time (in milliseconds)
that the Command PC will wait for a response from the
EmulationEngine. It can be set to a value in the range:
500...120000 milliseconds (2 minutes). The recommended value is
two times the EE Polling Interval value. If this time expires without
an expected response from the EmulationEngine, the user
interface will display a dialog indicating that the EmulationEngine
is not responding. When you dismiss the dialog, the status of the
EmulationEngine/System Under Test connection in the toolbar
will display “Offline”. If this dialog and “Offline” status appears
frequently, a larger value should be assigned to the EE Polling
Timeout. Also see Chapter 9, Troubleshooting/EmulationEngine
Busy or Not Responding.
NOTE: Also see the Monitor Update Interval and Monitor Update
Timeout in Monitors->Config Monitors for the interval and update
timeout values that are used by the command PC to collect
statistics values.
Transmit Parameters
Batch EE Requests: This checkbox enables/disables batching of
request messages to be sent to the EmulationEngine. When virtual
stations are running in an iterative fashion or you issue
commands to many virtual stations, this will produce a large
number of requests to the web server on the EmulationEngine.
Request batching will maintain a number of these requests over a
period of time (defined by the Batch Request Interval) and then
issue one large request with all pending instructions.
NOTE: If you are currently running or intend to run a Load Profile,
do not enable Batch EE Requests.
Batch Request Interval: If "Batch EE Requests" is checked/enabled,
specify the interval at which the web-based user interface will
collect (batch) requests and send them to the EmulationEngine. It
can be set to a value in the range: 250...60000 milliseconds (1
minute).
Select the EE tab to define the EmulationEngine's IP address and
network mask.
