TCP Port 4004 of the analyzer Ethernet host interface is defined for exclusive use as a side-band command channel. Any client may send commands to this port. There are no responses defined for these commands. The structure of a command sent on this channel is an ASCII-encoded text string with length 1-256 bytes. Commands are case-sensitive. The last character of each command must be ‘!’—the receiving port expects this character as a command delimiter.
It is the sender’s responsibility to ensure the analyzer is in the proper state for its issued command to have the expected result.
The commands defined for this channel are:
|
Command (ASCII text) |
Description |
|---|---|
|
TRIGGER_ANALYZER! |
Assuming the analyzer is in the waiting-for-trigger state, this command will cause it to trigger. Otherwise, the command has no effect. |
|
STOP_ANALYZER! |
Assuming the analyzer is in the recording state, this command will stop the recording immediately and enable uploading to begin. Otherwise, the command has no effect. |
Example 1: Python
import socket
HOST = '1.2.3.4' # The analyzer's IP address
PORT = 4004 # The message port used by the analyzer
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((HOST, PORT))
s.sendall(b'TRIGGER_ANALYZER!')
Example 2: Linux shell:
echo TRIGGER_ANALYZER! | netcat 1.2.3.4 4004
