You can start TPT from the command line. To do so, open the command line and change to the installation directory of your TPT installation. Each command must start with tpt.exe. Additionally, you can add the path to a file to open this file with or without general or specific options. The order of the command line elements is fix: tpt.exe <filename> <additionalFilename> [general options...] [specific options...]
<filename>
Name of the file to be loaded at startup. This can be a TPT project, a test data file, a TPTBATCH file or a Signal Viewer preferences file.
<additionalFilename>
Only mandatory if the first argument is a Signal Viewer preferences file.
Name of the test data file to be loaded with the Signal Viewer. Will only be considered if <filename> is a test data file or a Signal Viewer preferences file, see Signal Viewer - Save and load preferences.
[general options…]
See General options.
[specific options…]
The command line options in this documentation are written in angle brackets (<abc>) if they need to be replaced by a file or plug-in name, a path, a format and so forth without typing the brackets, for example, tpt.exe <filename> translates to tpt.exe my_tpt_project.tpt.
Sometimes, you can choose from different options. The choices are presented side-by-side divided by a vertical bar, for example, -ab|--abc or X|Y|Z. If other options precede or follow the choice, it is set in brackets, for example, (-r|--run) <plugin>. Choose an option and use it without the brackets, for example, -r a2lparser does the same as --run a2lparser.
