APPENDIX 145

Appendix E – Command Line Arguments

Command line arguments have been added to SSMA for two purposes:

1 As an alternative to using the SSMA address book le, users have the option of organiz-

ing the information pertaining to their network of sensors with an external program

or service. e external system can then automatically launch SSMA with connection

parameters for a sensor selected from the external address book or database.

2 Perform a batch upgrade of sensors to a new version of rmware. As a simple example,

a Microso Windows batch le can be used to sequentially upgrade all the sensors

listed in the le.

Note

The auto upgrade command line feature will connect to one sensor at a time and

upgrade if necessary. If connection is successful but upgrade is not necessary, then

SSMA will automatically close the connection and shut down. If a long list of sen-

sors is in the process of being upgraded and a problem occurs when connecting to

or manually upgrading a speciﬁc sensor, it may be possible to manually abort for an

individual sensor and return to it later.

Figure E.1 shows an example batch le which will upgrade two sensors at the IP address

and ports specied.

Figure E.1 – Example Batch File

SSMA is launched using the Windows command shell and the connection parameters are

passed as command line arguments. e connection parameters are organized as follows:

 Argument 1 is a character string that species the connection type as Internet or serial.

 Argument 2 is a character string that species the sensor address connection method as:

 AutoDetect (will auto-discover sensor IDs at the specied connection endpoint

and present a selection list)

 Isolated (will connect to the rst sensor ID found)

 UseID (will connect to the specied sensor ID)

 Argument 3 is a character string that species the ID for the UseID connection method.

For the UseID method the associated 4-character number should be entered. For the

AutoDetect or Isolated connection methods, Argument 3 can be entered as Unknown.
