Application Start Buttons
Overview
The Polybench application that are listed in this dialog, are visible as buttons on the main screen. This allows the users to quickly start an application, just by clicking a button.Please note: for applications that record data from a device, the "Post-process" option should not be checked, otherwise the button will grey out if there are not yet any measurements.

Details
In the table, a number of options can be selected for each application. Not every combination of options is allowed. If you do not or cannot select a designer to be active, then your application must 'start as end-user'.Post-Process
If selected, the application is specified to be a post-process. Post-process applications do analysis on previously recorded measurements. If this option is selected, it is tested if a measurement has been selected by the end-user, before the application is started. If no measurement or patient has been selected, the application start button will be disabled.Arguments
The application may be started with optional arguments. Which arguments are used by an application should be documented for that application. An argument should look like this: /ArgumentName:"ArgumentValue". If ArgumentValue does not contain spaces, the quotation marks may also be omitted. ArgumentName cannot contain spaces and is case sensitive.Example: /defaultfilename:"raw meas" /showadmin:yes.
You may use a few variables in the arguments. The following arguments are valid:
/SomeArgument:"$selectedfile$": If the application uses SomeArgument (in the form of the variable $SomeArgument$), then this is filled with the full path of the recording file that is currently selected in the Data Manager.
/language:"$selectedlanguage$": The application is started with the same user language the Data Manager is currently running. If that language does not exist for the application, the application will run in its default language.
