Deterministic Scheduler Overview

The Deterministic Scheduler is available as dsched Menu in the Control Panel in the SunVTS TTY UI.

Since the Control panel shows only 2 lines at a time, you might need to press Control-F to see dsched. dsched is available on the third line in Control panel.

To select an item in the menu, highlight the item using the arrow keys, then press return.

The following list provides an overview of the steps you perform to start, run, and quit the Deterministic Scheduler feature. Detailed instructions follow.

1. Start SunVTS with the SunTTY user interface.

2. Start the Deterministic Scheduler.

3. Create one or more tasks, using the Task Manager screen. A task is a SunVTS test session configuration (one or more selected SunVTS tests, test options, and specific test mode).

4. Create the sequence, using the Sequence Manager screen. A sequence is a group of tasks specified to run in a certain order.

5. Define the number of times (loops) that sequence runs, using the Sequence Runner screen.

6. Start the sequence.

7. When the sequence is done, reset the Detreministic Scheduler if desired.

8. Quit the Determinsitic Scheduler from the main Dsched Menu.
