MOTLoad Commands
CPCI-6200 supports two types of commands (applications): utilities and tests. Both types of
commands are invoked from the CPCI-6200 command line in a similar fashion. Beyond that,
CPCI-6200 utilities and CPCI-6200 tests are distinctly different.

MOTLoad Utility Applications
The definition of a MOTLoad utility application is very broad. Simply stated, it is considered a
MOTLoad command if it is not a MOTLoad test. Typically, MOTLoad utility applications are
applications that aid the user in some way (that is, they do something useful). From the
perspective of MOTLoad, examples of utility applications are: configuration, data/status
displays, data manipulation, help routines, data/status monitors, etc.
Operationally, MOTLoad utility applications differ from MOTLoad test applications in several
ways:
Only one utility application operates at any given time (that is, multiple utility applications
cannot be executing concurrently).
Utility applications may interact with the user. Most test applications do not.
5.6
MOTLoad Tests
A MOTLoad test application determines whether or not the hardware meets a given standard.
Test applications are validation tests. Validation is conformance to a specification. Most
MOTLoad tests are designed to directly validate the functionality of a specific single board
computer (SBC) subsystem or component. These tests validate the operation of such SBC
modules as: dynamic memory, external cache, NVRAM, real time clock, etc.
All MOTLoad tests are designed to validate functionality with minimal user interaction. Once
launched, most MOTLoad tests operate automatically without any user interaction. There are
a few tests where the functionality being validated requires user interaction (that is, switch
tests, interactive plug-in hardware modules, etc.). Most MOTLoad test results (error-
data/status-data) are logged, not printed. All MOTLoad tests/commands have complete and
separate descriptions. For more information on these tests/commands, see the
