Command Line Arguments for the Multiport Processor

The multiport processor is called via the command line to do a multiport calculation or to archive and extract data from a multiport data package .mdp file.

Using the Multiport Processor Calculator

Use the following command line parameters to launch the multiport processor as a calculator:
multiport_processor filename [OPTIONS]
FILENAME
The name of the multiport combinations configuration .mcc file.
OPTIONS
--version
Output only the version information to the command line and terminate.
--scale-factors-only
Only compute the scale-factor coefficients and terminate.
Note: No scaling of quantities are performed, for example, far fields.
--combination name
Only process the results for a specified combination in the .mcc file.
--quantities [quantity_1{,quantity_i}]
Specify the quantities that should be processed by the computed scale-factor coefficients. <quantity> can be one of the following:
  • FarFields
    Note: If no quantities are specified, then all quantities are processed.
--resultsfile fname
Specify the name of the multiport combinations result .mcr file.

Using the Multiport Processing Archiver

Use the following command line parameters to use the multiport processor as a archiver:
multiport_processor [OPTIONS]
OPTIONS
--create-package fname
Create a multiport data package .mdp file and terminate.
fname
The name of the multiport data manifest .mdm file which lists all the files to be added to the archive.
--expand-package fname [dirname]
Expand a multiport data package .mdp file and then terminate.
fname
Name of the multiport data package .mdp file.
dirname
The destination directory where to expand the files from the .mdp file.
