How to start

To start the GUI change directory to

  • Windows: cd <BenchIT-folder>\gui\bin
  • Unix/Linux,MacOS: cd <BenchIT-folder>/gui/bin

Now run the file

  • Windows: GUI.bat See error nr. 001
  • Unix/Linux,MacOS: ./GUI.sh

When this should contrary to expectations not start, you can try starting the file BenchIT.jar. This can be done by clicking (Windows) or running (all platforms) java -jar BenchIT.jar. Attention: If the flags, set in GUI.[sh|bat] are not set, different features won't work!

What happens when the GUI starts

Now the GUI should be in the LOCALDEF-Mode

Environment

The BenchIT-GUI requires at least JAVA 1.4 and in some cases an additional package with a XML-Decoder. A UNIX-System is recommed, but it will also work on Windows.

Restrictions under Windows: No measuring on local system

Also it uses 128 MB of RAM, if you want to use less, change the -Xmx-Option starting script (GUI.sh/GUI.bat).


Command line options

-host=[hostname] for changing the name of the actually host -hostname=[hostname] the same as -host -win for setting windows look and feel (needn't to funktion well) -restart supresses the daily tip after measurement shutdown an shows result tree after restart

First Steps

When starting the BenchIT-GUI for the first time and haven't already written your LOCALDEF-Files, some input-fields will pop-up which asks you for the basic variables.

Most of them must be filled out, but it doesn't take much time. When those questions are answered, the GUI starts.
