Reassigning groups

Use the following code to change group assignment. You can add or remove a

node to a group at anytime.

-- Assigns the node to a different group.

node[N].tsplink.group = G

Running parallel test scripts

You can issue the execute command from the master node to initiate test

script and TSL code on a remote node. The execute command places the

remote node in the overlapped operation state. As a test script runs on the

remote node, the master node continues to process other commands in parallel.

Note the following:

Use the following code to send the execute command on a remote node.

N represents the node number that runs the test script

Replace N with the node number

To set the global variable on Node N equal to 2.5:

node[N].execute ("setpoint = 2.5")

The following code is an example of how to run a test script on a remote node.

NOTE For this example, myscript is defined on the local node.

To run myscript on Node N:

node[N].execute(myscript.source)

The following code demonstrates how to run a test script defined on a remote

node.

NOTE For this example, myscript is defined on the remote node.

To execute a script defined on the remote node:

node[N].execute("myscript()")

It is recommended that you copy large scripts to a remote node to improve

system performance. See Copying test scripts across the TSP-Link

network

(on page 3-8) for more information.
