Overview… the XenaManager application

 

The XenaManager is the primary tool for controlling the XenaCompact and XenaBay testers. The other principal way of controlling the testers is through scripting, for instance using Tcl or through a variety of Microsoft Excel based applications.

 

XenaManager is a program running on an ordinary PC under Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7. It is a stand-alone executable, to be run directly without requiring any installation.

 

This picture shows the basic layout of the XenaManager graphical user interface:
