Running a Test From a User Interface
The common way to run SunVTS testing is through a SunVTS user interface--CDE or the TTY interface.
Test configuration, control, and results are easily accessed through buttons and dialog boxes. These buttons and dialog boxes are covered in the SunVTS User's Guide. However, the Test Parameter Options dialog box is unique for each test, and is therefore covered in this manual.
Test Parameter Options Dialog Box
The options displayed in this menu differ for each test, but the lower set of buttons are generic and are described below.
