launch signal tap thru command line

Hi, 

I'm trying to open the siganl tap using the command line but fails. 

I've found this link: 

http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40821 

 

and tried using this command only: 

open_session -name stp1.stp 

I've put it in a tcl file and ran it in the command line using: 

quartus_stp -t launch_stp.tcl 

 

It does not work. When I run it, I get the following error, saying 'can't open signaltap II file for reading. Make sure the signaltap II file exists and has read permission". 

Well, I checked, and the file do exists and has permission as any regular file. I've found this error documented here: 

http://drlnet.dyndns.org/help/quartus/webhelp/mergedprojects/tafs/tafs/tcl_pkg_stp_ver_1.0_cmd_open_session.htm 

 

But nothing special is said regarding that. 

Any idea how to invoke the signal tap sw? 

btw, I'm using version 10.1. 

Thx.

Did you navigate to the correct directory? I would normally run it like this: 

 

C:\Altera\quartus\bin\quartus_stp -t D:\test\test.tcl
