Command Line Arguments
Use command line arguments for applications built on the host PC to
disable the Select Target Platform dialog box and to explicitly specify a
target for the application. You can use these command line arguments in
a shortcut from the Windows Startup folder to automatically launch
Real-Time Engine applications and/or host PC applications when you start
up the host PC.
For example, create a shortcut with the following shortcut target:
c:\mybuiltapp.exe -target 127.127.44.108 -quithost
To disable the Select Target Platform dialog box, specify a target, such as
the IP address of the cFP-21
xx
, in the command line argument of your
application using
-target
. For example,
c:\mybuiltapp_rtengine.exe -target 127.127.44.108
or
c:\mybuiltapp_host.exe -target host
To disconnect the host PC from the Real-Time Engine after all applications
are downloaded, use
-quithost
. For example,
c:\mybuiltapp_rtengine.exe -target 127.127.44.108
-quithost
