/ActiveCard=<0, 1, …, 5>

If multiple scanner cards are connected to the PC, this command line parameter allows to select a card to be used with SAMLight. The number of the card is zero based and the valid range is from 0 to 5. Use the command line parameter /SettingsFile=<*.sam> as well, to chose a settings file. A single card settings file is required.

/DisableHomingStopButton

The STOP button during a homing procedure on startup of SAMLight can be disabled.

/DisableMessageBeep

Will suppress the Beep after some SAMLight actions ( e.g when marking is finished )

/Hidden

SAMLight starts invisible in the background.

/JobEditor

SAMLight is started in JobEditor mode. Hardware output is not possible in this mode.

/LoadJob=<path\*.sjf>

Using this parameter, a job defined by the path can be loaded during startup automatically. Please note that this option can be overwritten by the appropriate settings within the scanner application where you can define a job for loading on startup too.

/MarkTriggerUpdateBeforeEnd

Marking and updating will be done simultaneously, so that there will be no delay after the end of the Marking. (only available for Mark→ Trigger)

/MultiInstance

Multiple instances of SAMLight can be used on one PC. The parameters /ActiveCard and /SettingsFile are obligatory for the definition of the setup. Please note that the performance of multiple instances of SAMLight might be reduced when used on one PC. For high performance setups, the use of one PC per SAMLight instance is recommended instead of MultiInstance.

/noclose

Prevents to close SAMLight via GUI (File->Close, X in top right corner of the window etc) or 'Alt + F4'. SAMLight can only be closed by the CCI command ScShutDown() or the Windows task manager.

/resetwindowpos

Resets the position of the SAMLight if the window was moved outside the screen.

/SettingsFile=<*.sam>

With this parameter, it is possible to define the settings file the software is using. The settings file is always stored in the folder <SCAPS>\system\.

/StartInDemoMode

With this parameter SAMLight starts always in DemoMode.

/StartupDelay=<sec>

This parameter delays the startup of the application for the given time period sec (in unit seconds). If SAMLight is started automatically with the Windows start, this option may be necessary to ensure that all required drivers are loaded. Using such a delay assures that the application does not try to access the scanner card before it is made available by the operation system. Using this parameter the splash screen appears with no delay so that the user is informed that everything goes well.

/StepperMotionFile

For motion type 8 or 14 a specific stepper configuration file 'StepperMotionFile' can be used instead of sc_motion_stepper_settings.txt. The motion type (8 or 14) has to be defined in sc_motion_settings.txt. The file 'StepperMotionFile' need to be located in the directory <SCAPS>\system\.

/TriggerMode=<0, 1>

This option can be used only if a job was selected for loading using the preceding parameter. If the TriggerMode is set to 1, the application switches to trigger mode automatically after loading that job.

/UseDirectWrite

Use the later DirectWrite Windows API instead of the older Uniscribe Windows API for text layout and glyph rendering as default. It is used, e.g. to display an international language correctly in SAMLight.

/3D

The application starts in 3D mode if this option is specified and if the appropriate license is available. This option does not overwrite the appropriate settings. If you want to use this option to toggle the program execution mode the auto save option of the general settings should be turned off, else the temporarily enabled 3D mode would be saved.
