Scripting with Xena
Xena offers the industry’s best tools for automating Ethernet testing. Period.
Valkyrie, Vantage, Chimera and Vulcan include management software, plus a simple yet powerful scripting tool. Everything you can do with the management software can also be done using simple CLI text commands.
We offer several hundred scriptable parameters: from basic streams and capture setup to wild-carding across modules and ports. You can also use the client-side functionality to execute script commands both conditionally and repetitively. This is a big advantage when it comes to test automation.
The management software saves test port configurations in the exact same CLI command format as used by the scripting tool, making it very easy to go back and forth between the two.
