--nosplash
Suppresses the splash screen that is displayed while TPT starts up.
--plugins plugin1,plugin2,…, pluginN
In order to be able to dynamically integrate with area or domain-specific tools and its features,
TPT comes with a flexible plug-in architecture. All plug-ins are installed to a TPT subdirectory
named \tptplugins. By default, all plug-ins are loaded automatically by TPT. Use this
option, if you want to specify directly, which plug-ins are to be loaded on startup. Multiple
plug-ins may be specified using a comma-separated list.
filename
If tpt.exe is started without using the option --run, a filename may optionally be stated
as the command line’s last parameter. If the filename exists and is recognized as a valid TPT
model or data file, it will be loaded after start-up.
1.1.2 Specific options of the execution
--run build TPT-file-name execution-configuration
Starts the build and execution process of the specified TPT-file-name and executes the
execution-configuration specified. For the execution configuration please refer to
section 10.2.
1.1.3 Specific options of the assessment engine
--run assessmentengine [(-v|--var) vardef] ... scriptfile1
scriptfile2 ...
Starts the assessment engine and executes the scripts scriptfile1, scriptfile2 etc. one
after the other. If one or more variables have been defined with the option -v or –var, these
definitions are also passed to the scripts.
For example, if the argument --var foo=bar has been stated, the variable foo is
automatically defined within the script and has the value bar.
--run assessmentengine –-convert tptfile1 tptfile2 ...
Translates all assessment scripts found within the given TPT model file from the old assessment
language, used in early versions of TPT, into the new Python-based assessment language, that
hasen introduced with version 2.0 of TPT.
1.1.4 Specific options for the data converter
--run dataconverter inputfile [(-I|--Inputtype) inputtype]
outputfile [(-O|--Outputtype) outputtype]
This option provides a command line interface that allows conversion of data files (test records,
measurements…) from one supported file format to another. The input file’s and output file’s
type may explicitly be determined with the two additional options Inputtype and Outputtype.
Allowed types are: tptbin, mat or csv. If the files’ types are not explicitly given, TPT tries to
interpret the type from the file’s extension (.tptbin, .mat or .csv).
Please note that unequally sampled data cannot be saved as .tptbin format. This means that unequally
read data read from e.g. .csv will result in empty data block in the .tptbin-format.
1.1.5 Specific options for the log server
--run logger
This starts the log server instead of the TPT GUI. In order to aid debugging of software defects
while working with TPT, the log server’s entries provide an insight into internal operations and
their result.
