Synopsis

powerUpPort nodeURL port

Description

The powerUpPort utility is used to turn on power to an instrument port. It will not work while an instrument service is running on the port. It is typically used to communicate directly with instruments and perform PUCK operations while the SIAM application is running.
For example, typical operational sequences could include:

shutdownPort -> powerUpPort -> communicate with instrument via terminal program -> powerDownPort -> scanPort

or
shutdownPort -> powerUpPort -> read/write PUCK operation -> powerDownPort -> scanPort
