LP360 Command Line Executables

LP360 has several command line executable style programs that assist with productivity for different tasks, particularly when working with large amounts of data or repeating processes. These executables may be run:

1. Via an MS-DOS style batch script. MS-DOS is short for Microsoft Disk Operating System and is a non-graphical command line operating system, which was eventually replaced by the Windows Operating System. While this original operating system is rarely used nowadays, the command shell known as the Windows Command Line is still used and recommended – particularly for batch processing. 
2. By configuring corresponding commands and checklist steps within the GeoCue workflow software to take advantage of the command and dispatch system on top of the workflow management tools contain therein.
3. Call these programs as part of standard Python processing scripts

The executables are located in:

Versions 2018.1 and later: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\LP360" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\LP360".
Versions prior to 2018.1: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\QCoherent" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\QCoherent".
