Shortcut Command Line
MTS MultiPurpose TestWare® MPT Shortcuts 563
About the /EditOnly
command
The /EditOnly option will launch MPT as an editor only. When you use this
option, the MPT Specimen Log and Edit/Execute toolbar buttons will be
disabled. MultiPurpose TestWare is not embedded in Station Manager in this
mode. Since it is not embedded, it can be run on a different PC or as a second
copy of MPT, and so forth.
About the /Editor [...]
command
The /Editor [...] option will launch MPT in the embedded mode with the
Procedure Editor already displayed. The syntax of the optional arguments
(x:y:w:h:style) that specify the initial size and placement of the Procedure Editor
window are as follows:
• “x” specifies the x-coordinate of the upper left-hand corner of the window
• “y” specifies the y-coordinate of the upper left-hand corner of the window
• “w” specifies the width of the window in pixels
• “h” specifies the height of the window in pixels
• “style” specifies whether the window is maximized or minimized
An example of the full specification is:
“mpt /editor 400:400:300:300:StyleMinimized”
About argument
commission
Any of these arguments may be omitted, but the “:” must remain as a placeholder
if an argument is omitted in the middle of the string. Arguments at the end can be
omitted.
If an argument is omitted, the application will use a default value. For example,
suppose you are not sure what size you want the Procedure Editor window to be,
but you are sure you want it to appear in the upper left corner. In this case, you
would type:
“mpt /editor 10:10”
Likewise, suppose you want the Procedure Editor window to appear in the
default location, but you want its size to be smaller than its default size. It this
case, you would type:
“mpt /editor ::200:200”
About invalid values
Also, if you type x or y coordinate values that are not valid for your screen
(values that would place part or all of the Procedure Editor window off the
screen), MPT will override your values so that the window appears fully on your
screen.
