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.
