Running a script (e.g. 1-click recalibration ):
start "" /D "C:\Program Files\VIOSO6" "C:\Program Files\VIOSO6\SPCalibrator64.exe" /H:"D:\Calibration\Scripts\MyRecal.ini"
This command starts VIOSO 6 and runs a script:
- starts VIOSO 6 from its standard installation path
C:\Program Files\VIOSO6"
- loads the script “
MyRecal.ini
” fromD:\Calibration\Scripts\
- performs all steps of the script “
MyRecal.ini
” which could e.g. perform a recalibration
Starting a calibration (Anyblend 5):
C:\Program Files\VIOSO Anyblend 5 VR&SIM\SPCalibrator\SPCalibrator64 /L:"final.sps" /S:"c:\VIOSO\Calib" /I:"192.168.0.1" /M
This command starts VR&SIM with the following operations:
- loads “
final.sps
