17 Command Line Interface for Capturing Data
This chapter describes the command line interface for captured data.
17.1 Overview
The command line enables you to capture data and search through captures for specific subsets of data. You can
control the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer through the command line via a telnet session or from the 980 Manager
Console panel. When searching through the captured data, Quantum Data recommends that you use the Telnet or
some other terminal program such as Putty because there is a limited set of Linux commands supported through
the 980 Console.
There are 980-based commands that enable you to initiate commands to capture data. Once you capture data, you
can conduct searches either on your host PC or the 980 itself. To conduct searches on your PC you have to
transfer the captured data to your host PC using an FTP utility. This procedure is described in the section:

The 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer is based on the Linux operating system; therefore, to conduct searches directly
on the 980 you use the Linux search and filter utilities such as grep.
You can access the Linux prompt from the pscope prompt available from the Console panel or through a separate
telnet window. Procedures for both are shown below.
To establish a command line session through the 980 Console window:
1. Establish an Ethernet connection between the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer using the procedures defined in:
Connection Scenarios for external 980 GUI
2. Highlight the 980 that you want to execute commands on.
3. Activate the Console tab to access the Console panel interface.
4. Click on the Open Connection activation button to establish a telnet session with the 980 Protocol Analyzer.
5. The p-scope> prompt will appear allowing you to enter commands.
Note: You enter commands in the Command field above the terminal area.
