               Commandline Switches for the
              Taiko PDL M1  Laser Driver GUI
              ==============================

How to use the tables below:

  - Create a link e.g. on your desktop.
  - Open its properties window from the explorer.
  - Select the "Shortcut" page.
  - Edit the "Target" field and add the desired switches behind
    the end of the program name.
    Consider, the placeholder parts of the switch (e.g. <sn>)
    have to be substituted by your actual values, using single 
    or double quotes, if they contain blank spaces.
    
    e.g.:      -SERIAL=1029384
    or:        -style=bright

All switches are case-invariant; You may use them in any case you want, even mixed case.
You may invoke the driver with more than a single switch, combining their options. 
Consider, all conditions are combined in a conjunction, i.e. logically "AND". 
If no device matches all of the conditions, an error message is launched.
