Chapter 8: Using the Terminal Interface
The emulator has a built-in, host-independent Terminal Interface. The Terminal
Interface provides all the commands you need to make emulation and analysis
measurements. The interface includes tools for emulator initialization, command
entry and recall, and command help.
When to Use the Terminal Interface
Hewlett-Packard suggests that you control the emulator with a graphical interface
on a host computer (page 139). You may need to use the Terminal Interface,
however, for tasks such as:
•
•
•
•
•
•
134
Troubleshooting emulator hardware.
Troubleshooting the connection between the emulator and a host computer.
Developing a custom interface (such as a debugger) for the emulator.
Using the emulator when a PC or workstation is not available, but a terminal
or terminal emulator is available.
Accessing emulator or analyzer features which are not supported by the
graphical interfaces. In this case, it is best to issue the Terminal Interface
commands from within the graphical interface.
Using the emulator if you are already an expert user of the Terminal Interface
and you do not need the improved ease of use of the graphical interfaces.
