Chart & Map Console

Charts (and Maps) are Datafeeds which can be manipulated using the Syncrosim Command Line Console or the Syncrosim R package. For example, you can create a new Chart by simply importing the required data.

However, it is not possible to enumerate - or retrieve the data for - individual chart Panels using either of these methods. Instead, you must use an alternate console called corestime. To run the Chart & Map Console, open a command window, navigate to the SyncroSim installation folder, and type:

SyncroSim.Console.exe --console=corestime

Important

To send a command to the 'corestime' console you must use the --console command line switch.

Syntax

The Chart & Map Console command-line syntax is:

SyncroSim.Console.exe --console=corestime [command][argument, argument, ...]

• All commands and arguments are case sensitive
• All commands and arguments begin with two dashes (--)
• If an argument has a value it must be in the format --argument=value
• The value for an argument must be enclosed in quotes if it contains spaces.

Commands

The available commands are:

Command	Description
--list	Lists chart and map items
--set	Sets chart or map values
--clear	Clears chart or map values
--help	Prints help for a command

Arguments

Additional arguments may not be required for a command. For example, the --help command does not require any arguments whereas the --list command does. See the help for a command to determine whether additional arguments are required.

Output Options

By default, all output is printed to "stdout". However, in some cases the --file switch can be used to send output to a file. See the help for a specific argument to see if it supports the --file argument.

Getting Help

You can always use the --help argument to get more information about the current argument list.

For example, to show the available commands type:

SyncroSim.Console.exe --console=corestime --help

But to get help specifically for the --list command type:

SyncroSim.Console.exe --console=corestime --list --help
