Overview

This page shows the different ways to start LabRPS and the most important configuration features.

Starting LabRPS from the Command line

LabRPS can be started normally by double-clicking on its desktop icon or selecting it from the start menu, but it can also be started directly from the command line. This allows you to change some of the default startup options.

When starting LabRPS from the command prompt, you can supply the name of a project file:

   labrps file_name.rps

Other file format are also accepted: .rps.gz zlib compressed projects.

The name can also refer to an ASCII file:

   labrps ASCII_file_name

In this latter case a new "untitled" project will be created, containing a spreadsheet with the ASCII data in the file and a 2D plot of all columns as a function of the first column in the file. You must take care of the format of the ASCII file because it will be read with the current values of the Set Import Options... command dialog. These default values are:

  • the default field separator is ; but it can be changed in the Preferences... command dialog,
  • all lines are read,
  • the first line is used to name the columns,
  • the spaces at the end of the lines are not removed,
  • the spaces are not simplified.

Command Line Options

Valid options are:

  • -a or --about: show about dialog and exit
  • -h or --help: show command line options
  • -l=XX or --lang=XX: start LabRPS in language XX ('en', 'fr', 'de', ...)
  • -v or --version: print LabRPS version and release date
