/noexit
By default, STREAM.EXE will disconnect any attached clients, close its destination file (if
any), and terminate with exit(1) under a variety of abnormal conditions, including loss of
input or reference signals, out-of-range signal frequencies or amplitude levels, or other
acquisition errors. To force the server to restart itself instead of terminating after errors
that may be transient or otherwise nonfatal in nature, use the /noexit option.
Attached clients will still be disconnected when the server restarts, but they may
reconnect if desired, assuming the server is able to start a new acquisition. If a
destination file was specified with the /file option, it will remain open and the new
acquisition process will continue to update it.
Note that certain conditions such as memory allocation failures and loss of the USB
connection are still considered fatal even with /noexit, and will cause
STREAM.EXE to
terminate.
/notcp
You can use /notcp to keep STREAM.EXE from opening any network ports or otherwise
attempting to act as a TCP/IP server. See the description of the /file option for an
example.
/nowarnings
When /nowarnings is used, certain conditions such as excessive reference/input
frequency and amplitude drift that would normally result in warning messages will
generate error messages instead. Subsequently,
STREAM.EXE will disconnect any
attached clients, close its destination file (if any), and terminate with exit(1).
If /noexit is used in conjunction with /nowarnings, the server will attempt to restart
itself under these circumstances rather than terminating. See the /noexit option
description for further details.
