Appendix I: DtEncode command line

DtEncode can be executed from DOS command line.

The command line window can be accessed from Windows Start menu > Accessories > Command
Prompt

, or by typing “cmd” from the Run command in Start menu.

To get the help menu, type “DtEncode -?” from the ”C:\Program Files\DekTec\DtEncode\” directory.

Automatically launching DtEncode when the PC boots

The following is an example of a .bat file to launch three instance of DtEncode encoding.

Place a shortcut of such .bat file in your Start menu > startup;

so to have the PC executing it automatically when booting and make sure to have your PC
configured to automatically log-in when booting.

The use of Ping 127.0.0.1 in the below example

is just to create some delay before launching the DtEncode application, as the PC booting may
require some time before the DekTec adapter may be ready to be used.
