Installation and updating

Only node along with npm is required to install and use this tool.

npm install --global mobile-battery-benchmark

You can use the same command to update the package. Since version 0.1.6, a notice will be shown at the top of the control interface if a new version is available (unless allowUpdateCheck is set to false in the configuration file).

Running

You can run the tool by executing

mobile-battery-benchmark [config path]

If you do not specify a configuration file, config.json in the working directory will be used.

To automatically open a web browser with the control interface, add --gui:

mobile-battery-benchmark --gui [config path]

In order to create a new configuration file, add --init when starting the program, e.g.:

mobile-battery-benchmark --gui --init [config path]

Control server

By default, a control web interface will be launched on port 5000. You can change the port in the configuration file.

The control interface allows you to see connected devices and their status and to create, edit and start simulations. If supported by the connected device, a battery graph will be shown beneath the device details.

At the top of the list of connected devices, click "Show network addresses" to show the URLs of the content server with the associated network interfaces and address families.

Content server

The content server (default port 5001) serves content to connected mobile devices. You need to open the root directory in a mobile browser to allow remote control via the control server. The device should appear in the device list of the control interface.
