I would like to automate some tests using IBIC. Can I start w/script and stop it from a batchfile?

I WOULD LIKE TO RUN A BATCHFILE FOR TEST AUTOMATION. I NEED TO CONTROL IBIC OR USE GPIB COMMANDS IN SOME OTHER WAY. HOW CAN I DO THIS?

Hi,

IBIC has a command to execute a text file (script). You would use $ followed by the path of the text file.

The following Knowledge base article explains this command:

Unfortunately, IBIC does not take command line arguments. This means that you would need to open IBIC and type $ file.txt to execute the script.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help. I had found that answer already.
But I was hoping it did take command line args.
