Call Parameters

Overview

To start Diagnostics, you can enter various call parameters using the command line.

The following table provides an overview of the individual call parameters:

Call Parameter

Description

-connect ip <IP-/EPATH-Address>

Starts the program and immediately collects the data of the controller selected under <IP-/EPATH-Address>.

Equivalent to collecting data via Ethernet in the window Connect to controller via....

-connect com <ComPort>

Starts the program and immediately collects the data of a controller connected to a COM port. The port is selected using <ComPort>.

Equivalent to collecting data via Com (RS 232) in the window Connect to controller via....

-connect modem

Starts the program and immediately collects the data of a controller connected via modem.

Equivalent to collecting data via Modem in the window Connect to controller via....

NOTE: The dial-up connection must already be established.

-open <file name>

Starts Diagnostics and immediately opens the data collection from the file entered under <file name>. Equivalent to Open... command on the Home window.

-nosplash

Suppresses the Home window that is normally shown upon startup.

-language <language abbreviation>

Starts the program in the language entered under <language abbreviation>.

Possible language abbreviations are:

ode: German

oen: English

-userconfigfile <file name>

V1.6 and later.

Loads the configuration file  specified under <filename> with user-specific settings (for example, automatic name generation when saving the data collection).

-save ip <IP-/EPATH-Address> file <file name>

V2.0 and later.

Collects the data from the controller and saves it directly under the file name. The call-up is effected via the command line, that is, without a graphical user interface.

NOTE: You need write access rights to the given file destination. If you do not have write access rights, you can try to start Diagnostics with administrative privileges.

 

-save modem file <file name>

-save com <ComPort> file <file name>

You can enter the call parameters in different orders. In some cases, you can combine them (not –connect). This is case-sensitive. If you enter invalid parameters, the program will not start. When this happens, no diagnostic message is displayed.
