This command starts VR&SIM with the following operations:

C:\Program Files\VIOSO6\SPCalibrator64.exe /L:"final.sps" /S:"D:\VIOSO\Calib" /I:"192.168.0.1" /M

• loads "final.sps" from the standard data path

• uses D:\VIOSO\Calib as standard data path

• initializes network interfaces of application on the adapter 192.168.0.1

• starts the application minimized
