Command Line Print to File

The Command Line uses a pipe “|” delimiter in the form:

SERVOsoft.exe CommandType | VisibleState | ProjectFile | ReportFormat | ProductNotInDatabaseRule | OperatingMode

• CommandType
  • Value: 10 (Print to File interface type)
• VisibleState
  • Values:
    • 0 (Minimized)
    • 1 (Visible)
  • The program runs minimized [0] or visible [1]
  • Visible can be used for debugging. Otherwise, run minimized for better performance, where GUI updates are not called.
• ProjectFile
  • Path\FileName.ssp3/4
  • The report is generated in the same folder as the source project file
• ReportFormat
  • Values:
    • 1 (PDF)
    • 7 (TXT)
• ProductNotInDatabaseRule
  • Values:
    • 0 (AutoAdd)
    • 1 (PromptPopUp)
    • 2 (DoNotAdd)
  • Specifies what happen when a product used in the project file does not exist in the database
  • Note that storing product data in project files was added in v2.9. So very old v2 projects may not contain the product data in the project file.
  • Eg. A gearbox used in the project file does not exist in the database. When ProductNotInDatabaseRule = 0 (AutoAdd), then the product data is automatically added to the database before creating the report.
• OperatingMode
  • Values:
    • 0 (Normal)
    • 1 (Max-Stop)
    • 2 (Backup Power)
