11.2 Desktop command Interface
This Apollo component is available only if the TransForm A has been equipped with this soft-
ware component in the Visio file.
This component is provided on every operator workstation.
Desktop Command Interface is a WindowsNT/2000 application, which converts command line input to control
commands for the devices.
Start MS-DOS and enter the desired command behind the prompt. The general syntax is as follows:
DesktopCmd -name:<desktop server> -<command>:<value>
The commands and values are not case sensitive!
The following table provides an overview over the available commands and parameters:
Command Parameter Parameter
LayoutLoad Region Layout Name
LayoutUnload Region Layout Name
LayoutUnloadAll Region
Shortcut Region Shortcut Name
If no regions are defined, the parameter region has to be omitted!
The following example shows the command for loading the layout with the name English 1 in the region .
“%ApolloProgram%\DesktopCmd.exe” -name:Wall1 –Region: Region1 -LayoutLoad:English1
The region has to be specified, otherwise "Default" region is taken.
Only one command per command line!
Starting with Apollo 1.4SR3, also shortnames of the commands are supported:
Command shortname
LayoutLoad ll
LayoutUnload lul
LayoutUnloadAll lula
Shortcut shrtc
