Basics

This section helps you understand the basics of XOA CLI.

As an alternative to using the application ValkyrieManager, you can interact with the testers using XOA CLI. This also allows the tester to be controlled from a scripting environment, and be part of a larger automation environment.

XOA CLI is a command-line-interface scripting command which supports multiple concurrent scripting sessions. This makes it easy for different users in different locations to work on the same Xena tester simultaneously.

There are 700+ scriptable commands: from basic streams and capture setup to wild-carding across modules and ports. It is, of course, possible to use the client-side functionality to execute script commands both conditionally and repetitively, which offers real advantages when it comes to test automation.
