System controller configuration available for use with the Verigy  V93000 SOC  Series.
In the future the configuration of the system controller is subject to change. Verigy supports only the configuration shipped with the system controller. Other configurations might work as well but they are not supported by Verigy. In such cases, please contact your hardware supplier.

4. PCI Slot Configuration
Installed system controller configuration and supported cards
NOTE: Controller will have either a PCI or
PCIe CIC, but not both.
This shows the tested system controller configuration for the system controller and the supported applications for the card types.
E2078A GPIB card used for Unix needs to be replaced by the E7031B GPIB TAMS card.
GPIB card can be used in one of the empty slots.
GPIB driver is also included in the TAMS I/O Libraries CD

The computer interface card is automatically set up during the installation of the SmarTest software package.
Reconfiguring the computer interface card (in case of problems)
Log in as root and open a terminal window.
Execute the script to reconfigure the CIC card. /etc/opt/hp93000/soc_common/cic/pci/reconfig_pci /etc/opt/hp93000/soc_common/cic/pci/reconfig_pcie
The computer interface card is automatically set up during the installation of the SmarTest software. SmarTest is automatically
installed with the E Verigy V93000 SOC Series Linux Recovery DVD.
The computer interface card needs to be installed to be able use SmarTest online with the test system.

After installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux the network configuration is not correct. The references to the hardware (eth0 and eth1) that Red
Hat Enterprise Linux assigned are still different from the one you need.

15. Linux Commands
Again, there are multiple possibilities to achieve the same goal with Linux. As for directory listings the following commands are available:
“dir” [directory listing, names only]
“ll” [long listing, permissions, owner, group, size, date stamp, file/directory name]
“ls” [similar to dir but executables and directories are color coded]
These commands may be followed by options to format your query to a more specific format.
08 - Linux Controller

16. Linux Commands Directory command options:
“-l” [long listing – use long listing format]
“-a” [all – displays all files including hidden]
“-r” [reverse – reverse order while sorting]
“-t” [time – sort by modification time]
Options can be used individually or in combination.
Example: “ls –lart” [display listing sorted by time where newest file creation is last]
NOTE: Due to file creations within SmarTest, it is recommend that the “-lart” option be used. This will play a important role in obtaining critical information during diagnostics and calibration.
Due to time stamping of files as extensions, there may be multiple di_log_files within the diagnostic directory. -lart will put the most recent on the bottom of the listing.
08 - Linux Controller

17. Linux Commands [ls –lart]
HIGHLY RECOMMED THIS COMMAND as HD software will now tag all di_log_files with a time stamp. Therefore multiple di_log_files may exist making it confusing for user to find correct file.
Most recent touched file listed last
08 - Linux Controller

18. Linux Commands - Copy [cp], Move[mv] and Rename[mv]
Linux is a cross between UNIX and Windows, therefore more options are available to the user. User can execute copy, move via a terminal window or, as in Windows, drag and drop, use the right click function of the mouse etc…
Here we show the home directory (window is user configurable). Hidden files can be viewed but as in Windows, must be selected.
Examples:
cp /tmp/file1 /home/file1 (copies file1 from tmp to home)
mv /tmp/file1 /home/file1 (moves file1 from tmp to home)
mv file1 file2 (renames file1 to file2)

19. Linux Commands – find, locate
Most command from UNIX are transferable to Linux but there could be some differences. Linux also offers additional commands which can be seen as useful such as those that follow.
The ‘which’ command followed by a command example iosetup returns directory of location for command.

20. Linux Commands – Switch Version
SmarTest supports multiple revisions.
Process to swap via CLI: /opt/hp93000/soc_common/bin/switch_version
Upon installation of software, 93K software is saved under version number. Link is then created in software to this revision.
Installation of second revision does same. Switch_version recognizes which revisions are installed. Default revision is always last installed.

26. Model File Template
Each time SmarTest is started, a file is created under the /var/opt/hp93000/soc directory named model_template.
This file gives the global variables and maximum configuration of the tester hardware for help in setting up the model file.

28. Block Diagram
Verigy has a new interface - the V93000 LAN to GPIB solution - that you can use to control GPIB instruments, GPIB probers, and GPIB handlers. You are no longer required to use a PCI GPIB interface with SmarTest, although you can still use a PCI GPIB for your custom applications, such as legacy drivers.
After the V93000 LAN to GPIB gateway solution has been installed successfully, you must customize the model file if you want to use at least one of the following:
Traceable Calibration
GPIB instruments
NOTE:
To see an example of a LAN to GPIB solution modified model file take a look into the Appendix of the Linux User Guide!
