Station Manager Shortcuts
Creating command line shortcuts greatly reduces the number of steps it takes to get your station open and
running. For Station Manager, you can use a shortcut to automatically specify the following station parameters:
•
Project folder
•
Configuration file name
•
Parameter set
•
Interlock chain
•
Station views
•
RSC (remote station control)—optional, not available on all systems
•
User access level and password
•
.hwi file name
•
Test system name
•
Controller name
•
Import parameters file name
Shortcut command line
To create a Station Manager shortcut command line, first specify the application (stmgr), then the desired
station options.
The syntax of the shortcut command line is critical. If you do not use a supported command-line format, the
shortcut will not work.
To view a list of available Station Manager command-line options, enter stmgr /H from the command line.
These options are also described in the following table.
Note:
If the parameter name contains spaces (for example, test 257.000), the name must be enclosed in
quotation marks (“test 257.000“).
The Station Manager application supports two command-line formats: decorator-based and precedence
based.
