Manual Package File CreationLanMarkXT uses Test Packages that can be created automatically through the Package Wizard or manually by creating or editing text files.
Support Package file not created with the Package Wizard are not
supported by Layer 1 Software.
Package Format the test package must be correctly formatted to function correctly in LanMarkXT. Malformed Packages can cause abnormal program operation.
Package Location Test Packages have two parts, the Package which is a .txt stored in the Dir TestPackages, and all associated data "content" files stored in the Dir TestPackageFiles.
| Package File | Location |
| Package File | C:\Program Files\Layer 1 Software\LanMarkXT\LanMarkTest\TestPackages |
| Package Data File | C:\Program Files\Layer 1 Software\LanMarkXT\LanMarkTest\TestPackageFiles |
| Package File Layout: | |
| Array ID | Packet Field Description | Example | Range | Units |
| 0 | Packet Start | SOF | SOF helps insure Packet Integrity (Required) | |
| 1 | Packet Type | TestFrame | TestFrame is the only supported option | |
| 2 | Test Name | MPEG 4 throughput at 2mnytes/s | Friendly Test Name | |
| 3 | Number Of UDP Tests | 1 | 0-999 | Qty |
| 4 | Number Of TCP Tests | 0 | 0-999 | Qty |
| If Number Of UDP Tests > 0 Then | ||||
| Loop through Number Of UDP Tests ==> Increment Test Number by 1 | ||||
| X | Number of Packets | 1000 | 1-65536 | |
| X | Packet Type | Unicast | Unicast OR Broadcast | |
| X | Inter-Packet Delay | 0 | 0.001-10000 | ms |
| X | Packet File Name (Optional) | MPEG42mbyte.pkt | alphanumeric | LanMarkXT\LanMarkTest\TestPackageFiles |
| Close Loop | ||||
| Next test | ||||
| If Number Of TCP Tests > 0 Then | ||||
| Loop through Number Of TCP Tests ==> Increment Test Number by 1 | ||||
| X | File Name | WordDoc1meg.fil | alphanumeric | LanMarkXT\LanMarkTest\TestPackageFiles |
| Close Loop | ||||
| Next test | ||||
| X | End Of File | EOF | If EOF is not the last string in the array, the test is deemed bad due to corruption | |
| Example MPEG2 Test Package | Example MultiProtocol Test Package |
| SOF: TestFrame: MPEG2 Video Unicast Stream: 1: 0: 100: Broadcast: 3.5: MPEG2_181.txt: EOF: |
