ALTAIR TCP Command and Control

The Ulyssix TCP Command and Control is an interface to configure and monitor the status of ALTAIR via a TCP connection.

• The command set is based on the Unix style command line interface.

• The command set includes setting up the Ulyssix Cards, acquiring status from the Ulyssix Cards, and transferring files from the client to the remote Ulyssix ALTAIR measurement computer (server).

The Ulyssix TCP Command and Control includes the Ulyssix Discovery Protocol.

• This is a multicast UDP protocol, similar to Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP), that allows a client to query for the IP addresses of all of the Ulyssix ALTAIR measurement computers on the network.

The Ulyssix TCP Command and Control works with TCP terminal programs, like PuTTY, and also comes with a software development kit (SDK). The TCP Command and Control SDK includes an open-source C# terminal application, Ulyssix TCP Terminal, and example Python scripts.

The Ulyssix TCP Terminal is a C# application using .NET 4.8. It implements the Ulyssix Discovery Protocol to find the IP addresses of Ulyssix ALTAIR measurement computers. It accepts both single command via and scripts. A script is a text file containing one or more commands.
