Hi,

I'm trying to use Laview to automate my Ixia Traffic generator. I'm using TCL commands from Ixia IxOS to automate my IxExplorer.

Here's my situation:

1. I manually configure the IxExplorer packet streams (like setting frame size, packets/sec and number of packets). I never automate this before. The only thing I did Labview auto for Ixia Traffic generator is connecting to the chassis, send packets, retrieve packets sent and received. Commands like these

   . ixConnectToChassis 2.10.1.1------>chassis IP address

   .ixStartPortTransmit 1 4 4------->chassis ID, card ID, port ID

   .And couples of statistic commands to get packets sent and packets received.

2. Now, I'd like to use Labview to automate Ixia Traffic generator packet stream. Commands like these below:

   .stream configure -gapUnit gapSeconds------------->packets/sec

   .stream configure -rateMode useGap--------------->use packet/sec

   .stream set 1 4 4 1-------------->chassis ID, card ID, port ID, stream ID

   .stream write 1 4 4 1------------>chassis ID, card ID, port ID, stream ID

Look like the commands executed OK, but I don't see the stream settings take effect on the IxExplorer GUI of Ixia Traffic generator.

Anybody is expert on Ixia traffic generator automation using Labview, please help?

Really appreciated.

I strongly recommend you ask a Moderator to change your title from "LabVIEW" (which conveys 0 information) to something like "Connecting with Ixia Traffic Generator" -- people who understand what this means will be "attracted" to it.

Hello, 

For this project what protocol are you using, and are you using any NI drivers with LabVIEW? What are you expecting in response?
