Remote Command Interface (RCI) Enables EclipseTM and Scan ExecutiveTM to Easily Integrate into Most Design and Test Environments
RCI is an optional extension to the Eclipse Scripting Language that reduces the effort involved in integrating Eclipse into existing Design and Test Environments. RCI eliminates the need to develop and integrate complex C++ code. Today, developing and testing PCB and systems is too complex and one vendor cannot possibly provide every tool necessary in the entire flow. This requires that design and test engineers write code to integrate disparate tools into a flow. RCI simplifies this and enables any language or application, capable of making standard Windows or UNIX socket calls, to be integrated into the Eclipse or Scan Executive flow without C++ development.

"The Eclipse RCI, Remote Command Interface, provides an open architecture for adding custom capabilities in C/C++ not found in other 1149.1 tools. I was able to quickly develop my own code without linking in 'scan function' libraries."

RCI Capabilities
Simplifies Tool Integration
- RCI requires no compiled code so faster debug of integrated tool flow
Integration is reusable
- Changes in Eclipse do not impact integration, no "Scan Function" library changes to re-link
Backward compatibility
- No .cpp/.h file re-generation for BSDL changes or test program re-compiling and linking
Removes dependency on compilers
- RCI is built on industry standard scripting language
Easier maintenance
- Less costly solution to develop and maintain because no need for C++ API and libraries
- Links to industry standard applications
- Link to Visual Basic applications, LabWindows or LabView, HP VEE or any custom application
