# Command line parameter: Start ACRON with parameter transfer

The startup mode and appearance of the individual ACRON modules can be influenced by entering various command line parameters. In this way you can specify the plant name, the appearance of the program window or the import of user data, for example, directly when the module is opened.

**Default parameters**

**Syntax**

`acrondesigner.exe` \[-pPlant] \[-xHoriz. Pos. -yVert. Pos. -wWindowwidth -h Windowheight] \[-uLogin-name] \[-q] \[-i]

Note

In the Powershell (as in all other shells) no programs can be started from the current directory. The "dot backslash `.\`" or "dot slash `./`" combination prefix must be entered for the purpose.

Example: .`\acrondesigner.exe`

That is not necessary on the DOS command line, but it does work too.

Note

Take great care to use the correct case during parameter input, as entries are case-sensitive.
