Command-Line Arguments for the PVRTune GUI
The PVRTune GUI also has a range of command-line arguments available to it which allow users some additional features or control over their data analysis. The command-line interface for the PVRTune GUI is shaped as follows:
/PVRTuneGUI.exe <target> <arguments>Where target is either a path to the recording in the form of a .pvrtune file
or a connection target, which usually takes the form of an IP/network address).
All of the command-line arguments are listed below:
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
--periodms | Define the sample period. Required for --export-csv-counters. Expects an integer parameter. |
--frame | Select the frame for the report. Required for --export-json-reportstats-frame. Expects an integer parameter. |
--range-start-us | Select the starting time for the report. Required for --export-json-reportstats-range. Expects an integer parameter in milliseconds. |
--range-length-us | Define the length of time for the report. Required for --export-json-reportstats-range. Expects a float parameter in milliseconds. |
--save | Either duplicate an input file or save a recording session as the given filename. Expects a string as a filename (file is saved as .pvrtune). |
--export-csv-timing | Same function as "File > Export > Export timing data to CSV" in the GUI. Expects a string as a filename (file is saved as .csv). |
--export-csv-counters | Same function as "File > Export > Export counters to CSV" in the GUI. Expects a string as a filename (file is saved as .csv). |
--export-json-reportstats-frame | Save the data available in the Stats Report of the Monitor widget, based on frame. Expects a string as a filename (file is saved as .json). |
--export-json-reportstats-range | Save the data available in the Stats Report of the Monitor widget, based on time selection. Expects a string as a filename (file is saved as .json). |
--graph | Generate an image file of the graph of the entire time range with all counters plotted. Expects a string as a filename (file is saved as .png). |
--BasePath | Override the current working directory. Expects a string as a path (relative or absolute). |
--CommsBuffSize | PVRTune automatically disconnects from data sources when a particular memory buffer is full. This parameter controls that buffer size. Expects an integer parameter. |
--default-clockspeed-hz | Set the clock speed used to display data if the clock speed is unknown. Expects an integer parameter in Hz. Default is 100000000 (100MHz). |
Note: Using multiple command line arguments requires them to be served in the right order in order to function properly, which is the order they are listed in above (for example,
--frameneeds to come before--export-json-statsreport-frame).
