Arguments (continued) Argument Syntax Requirements:
When you type arguments directly, you must observe standard command line
syntax.
• You must type a space between multiple arguments. For example, if you
enter two arguments such as: “<V#Variable1> <V#Variable2>” you must
add a space must between the two arguments.
• If path placeholder results in path with spaces, you must add quotes to the
argument. For example, "<Specimen Directory>\myfile.dat" will require
the user to type the quotes if the path defined by <Specimen Directory>
has space(s) in it.
Variable Name Use the selections in the Variable Name submenu to create an argument that
passes the value of the variable(s) to the selected Application to Run when the
process is triggered.
To add a variable to the argument: in the Argument list, click Variable Name
and select a variable from the submenu.
Note Multiple variables must be separated by a space.
Note This control is available only if the controller is equipped with the
variables feature (keyed option).
Default Path Specifies the default path to the selected argument. Define the default path by
typing the desired path in the entry box, by browsing to the desired location, or
by selecting one of the predefined directory locations in the Default Path list,
as shown below:
You can also use the Default Path text box to define the Application to Run
path if the path was not defined in the Application to Run text box.
