Appendix I: Command Line Operation
SEASAVE has several command line parameters, for infrequently
used options:
Parameter Function
-autostart=
filename
Automatically start SEASAVE and data acquisition, using
program setup (.psa) file defined by filename. Filename must
include path and extension (.psa). SEASAVE uses .con file,
setup in Configure Inputs and Configure Outputs, displays, and
output file name defined in .psa file. This allows you to set up
system ahead of time, and then have an untrained operator start
acquisition without navigating through SEASAVE’s menus.
-u Ignore output (.hex) file name defined in .psa file, and create a
unique output (.hex) file name, based on current date and time.
When used with autostart command line option, this allows you
to set up system ahead of time, and then have an untrained
operator start and stop acquisition multiple times without
navigating through SEASAVE’s menus, generating a unique
output file for each data acquisition.
-aa=
filename
Automatically start SEASAVE and playback archived data,
using program setup (.psa) file defined by filename. Filename
must include path and extension (.psa). SEASAVE uses .con file,
setup in Configure Inputs and Configure Outputs, displays, and
input data file name defined in .psa file.
Note: If specifying multiple parameters, insert a space between each parameter
in the list.
To run SEASAVE with a Command Line Parameter:
1. In the Windows Start menu, select Run. The Run dialog box appears.
Enter the command line parameter(s) as shown below:
Path\seasave.exe parameter1 parameter2 . . .
where Path is the location of seasave.exe on your computer, and one or
more command line parameters are listed.
2. SEASAVE opens. The functions specified by the command line
parameters are enabled. If –autostart was used, data acquisition starts.
Examples
• “C:\Program Files\Sea-Bird\seasave.exe” –autostart=“C:\Test Directory\test.psa”
(automatically start SEASAVE and data acquisition, based on setup in test.psa, and save data to .hex file specified in test.psa)
• “C:\Program Files\Sea-Bird\seasave.exe”–autostart=“C:\Test Directory\test.psa” -u (enable 2
parameters shown -- automatically start SEASAVE and data acquisition, based on setup in test.psa, but ignore .hex file specified in
.psa and save data to a uniquely named .hex file)
Notes:
• If the path includes any
spaces, enclose the path in
quotes (“path“). See the
examples.
• An alternative method of
running SEASAVE with a
Command Line Parameter
is from a command prompt.
