Starting SCPI server via Console Runner

Starting the server

The SCPI console runner is a console application providing a SCPI server instance. The runner connects to a Bode device attached to the PC running the console runner. It accepts incoming SCPI commands and provides an interface to control the Bode device over SCPI.

You can find the executable OmicronLab.VectorNetworkAnalysis.ScpiRunner.exe in your installation directory. The runner can be started by double-clicking the executable. In this case the default parameters are being used and will be displayed on the console. When starting the executable via commandline, additional parameters can be used to configure the server. To do so:

  • navigate to the installation directory containing the OmicronLab.VectorNetworkAnalysis.ScpiRunner.exe
  • click on File -> Open Windows PowerShell
  • type in the command .\OmicronLab.VectorNetworkAnalysis.ScpiRunner.exe
  • the server should start

Starting the server from the powershell

Options

The executable accepts 3 Options:

Option Parameter Default
-i IP address standard IP address of the PC
-p Port 5025
-s Serial-Number of Bode Device first found device attached to PC

An example for connecting to a device with the serialnumber CC164C on the IP address of 192.168.0.20 and port 5025 would be the command:

.\OmicronLab.VectorNetworkAnalysis.ScpiRunner.exe -i 192.168.0.20 -p 5025 -s CC164C.
