GENERAL QUALIFIERS

Additional information available:

/NODENAME/PRINT/STATISTICS/DISPLAY/SPEED

/NODENAME

      /NODENAME=node-id

   Identifies the node (by name or address) on which DTR is to run. The
   default is the local node.

/PRINT

      /PRINT
      /NOPRINT (D)

   Instructs DTS to print or log test results. The default is /NOPRINT.

/STATISTICS

      /STATISTICS (D)
      /NOSTATISTICS

   Instructs DTS to print statistics on data and interrupt tests. The
   default is /STATISTICS.

/DISPLAY

      /DISPLAY=number
      /NODISPLAY (D)

   Instructs DTS to print the specified number of bytes (in hexadecimal)
   of data and interrupt messages transmitted to DTR.  The default is
   /NODISPLAY.

/SPEED

        /SPEED=number

   Indicates the line speed (bits per second) of the test line. DTS uses
   this qualifier for reporting statistics. The default value is 1000000.

COMMAND-SPECIFIC QUALIFIERS

Additional information available:

/TYPE/SIZE/[TEST-DURATION]

/TYPE

      /TYPE=test-type

   Indicates the subtest for the data test.  There are four subtests:

   SINK   Indicates a sink test. The default test type.
   SEQ    Indicates a sequence test.
   PAT    Indicates a pattern test.
   ECHO   Indicates an echo test.

/SIZE

      /SIZE=number

   Indicates the data message length in bytes. The lower bounds are 0 for
   a sink or echo test; 4 for a sequence test; and 5 for a pattern test.
   The upper bound is 4096 bytes for all tests. The default size is 128.

/[TEST-DURATION]

      /[TEST-DURATION]

   Indicates the duration of the test. There are three units of time
   for this parameter:

      /SECONDS=number
      /MINUTES=number
      /HOURS=number

   The number specifies the duration of the test. The default unit is
   /SECONDS=30. The maximum test duration is 3,600,000 seconds or 1000 hours.

Example

   -Test:   DATA/PRINT/TYPE=SEQ/SIZE=128/SECONDS=10

            _DTS-S-NORMAL, normal successful completion

            Test parameters:
             Test duration (sec) 10
             Target nodemane    ""
             Linespeed (baud) 1000000
             Message size (bytes) 128

            Summary statistics:
             Total messages XMIT 788    RECV 0
             Total bytes XMIT 100864
             Messages per second 78.8
             Bytes per seconds 10086
             Line throughput (baud) 80691
             - Line utilization 8.0

   This command invokes the data test with the sequence subtest. DTS
   sends messages to DTR on the local node where test information is to be
   printed. The message size is 128 bytes, and the duration of the test
   is 10 seconds.
