4.5 Performing Measurements From Batch
Files
When performing measurements on a huge number of input files it is much
easier to start your OPERA™ system from a batch file. OPERA™ then will process
all files in a row, which will save a lot of time in comparison to performing the
same task manually. To support this, OPERA™ understands a number of
command line parameters. These parameters may also be written into a batch
file and contain comments. For information about the syntax of batch files,
please refer to the corresponding help topic in your Windows help.

4.5.1 Syntax of the Command Line Parameters in a Batch File

To start an OPERA™ measurement with command line arguments use the
following syntax:
opera -Exec <list of parameters>
For every measurement type these keywords at the beginning of the line. The
list of parameters comprises some of the parameters that are described in this
section. It is imperative to put these parameters on one line for each
measurement. Another option is to place the list of parameters in a
configuration file. and start OPERA like:
opera -Exec –Cfg <name of the configuration file>
For a description how to use configuration files see paragraph 4.5.2.
In the following, the syntax of the command line parameters in the list is
described. For all parameters inside a command root (i.e. –Input or –Mux) the
keyword of the command root (e.g. "-Input") has to be typed only once, at the
beginning (lines starting with "REM" are comments).
