Appendix 3.3 Starting the Monitor Tool by the Mode That Matches the Authority of the

Specified User

This section explains how to specify the user who starts the monitor tool by using arguments.

Argument Description Example

/u or /U

Specify the user name to be used at the startup of the monitor tool by the mode that matches the authority of the specified user. (The user name is case sensitive.)

Enter the user name after the argument /u and a space.

/p or /P

Specify the password to be used at the startup of the monitor tool by the mode that matches the authority of the specified user. (The password is case sensitive.)

Enter the password after the argument /p and a space.

When the password has not been specified for the user

( Section 4.6), this argument specification is not needed.

This argument is always used with the argument /u.

Refer to the example below.

[Example]

C:\Melsec\Fbdq\FBDQMon.exe /u username /p password

[Example (when space is included in user name or password)]

When a space is included in the user name or password, enclose the user name or password in " " (double quotations).

C:\Melsec\Fbdq\FBDQMon.exe /u "PX Dev" /p "mon tool"

POINT

If the user name specified with the argument has not yet registered or the password does not match the preset one, the monitor tool starts up in the lock mode.

If the user is specified (/u, /p specified) as well as the monitor toolbar is set to be hidden (/h specified), the monitor tool is started up in the mode that matches the authority of the specified user.

When starting the monitor tool in the mode that matches the authority of the specified user, do not use a "/" (slash) or "-" (hyphen) in the first character of the user name and password.
