Submitting measurement request as a batch job

You can add measurement requests as batch jobs.

To submit a measurement request as a batch job, select Option 6 (BATCH-SUBMISSION) from the Strobe Options menu and press Enter. Strobe displays the Strobe - Batch-Submission Options menu, which enables you to submit requests as batch jobs and manage those requests.

To submit a measurement request, select Option 1 (ADD ACTIVE) or Option 2 (ADD QUEUED) from the BATCH-SUBMISSION OPTIONS menu. To change a request, select Option 3 (CHANGE ACTIVE), Option 4 (CHANGE QUEUED), or Option 5 (CHANGE COMPLETED).

AutoStrobe users may also want to specify Option 8 (CHANGE DEF/ACTIVE), Option 9 (CHANGE DEF/QUEUED) or Option G (SUBMIT A GROUP). For more information, see Using-AutoStrobe-Request-Groups.

When you have completed adding and changing your measurement requests, select Option 7 (JOB STREAM MENU) to process your control statements, or press End to cancel processing.
