Hi,

I have done some research about how to use OpenTAP without buying the Keysight editor, but I can’t find any guide on how to do it.

Just to be sure if it works, I am asking you. Does it work to run tests without the editor? For example from the terminal? Do you have a guide on how to do it?

Thanks in advance!
