Command-Line Arguments

This document describes the hidden command-line arguments supported by FX Viewer. These features generally fall outside the program’s normal purpose and are intended for testing or debugging. In most cases, run the program without any arguments.

How to Apply Arguments

You can apply arguments to the program in the following ways:

Using the Program Shortcut Properties
Using CMD/PowerShell
Using the Run Dialog

You can also apply multiple arguments at once. When entering multiple arguments, separate them with spaces.

Using the Program Shortcut Properties

Right-click the FX Viewer shortcut icon on your desktop (or another location) and open the ‘Properties’ window.
In the Shortcut tab, append the arguments to use at the far right end of the ‘Target’ field.

Using PowerShell

Open a PowerShell window using Win+X, I or any other method, then adjust the command below with the arguments you want and run it. In PowerShell, each argument must be wrapped in quotation marks (”) to separate it.

Start-Process "$env:APPDATA\FX Viewer\FX Viewer.exe" -ArgumentList "--enable-prpd-calc", "--enable-windowed"

Using Command Prompt (CMD)

Open a Command Prompt window, then adjust the command below with the arguments you want and run it.

start "" "%APPDATA%\FX Viewer\FX Viewer.exe" --enable-prpd-calc --enable-windowed

Using the Run Dialog

Press Win+R to open the Run dialog, then adjust the command below with the arguments you want and run it.

cmd /c start "" "%appdata%\FX Viewer\FX Viewer.exe" --enable-prpd-calc

Argument List

--enable-prpd-calc
--enable-ai-console
--enable-windowed
--enable-prpd-more-executor

Argument Details

enable-prpd-calc

Displays the detailed computation results of the PRPD classifier, along with the computation time and a button to select the classifier version.

For the Old Classificator the result is Probability; for the New Classificator the result is Logits.

enable-ai-console

Shows a console that displays the AI training progress when you start AI training from the per-camera detailed settings. The console is also shown when a model is being applied in real time, not only during training.

enable-windowed

Allows FX Viewer to run in windowed mode.

enable-prpd-more-executor

Allows the PRPD classifier to use compute devices other than the CPU.

ROCm, MIGraphX, and OpenVINO each require the matching driver, runtime, and SDK to be installed. They are not provided with the program installation; when the matching driver is present and the usage condition checks pass, the Executors listed in the table below become available.

Executor	Usage Example	Notes
CUDA	NVIDIA GPU ( RTX 20xx or later )
ROCm	AMD GPU ( RX 5700 XT or later )
MIGraphX	Environments with AMD ROCm support	Experimental
OpenVINO	Intel 6th-generation CPU or later	Experimental
CPU	Any x64-based CPU	Enabled by default

With CUDA, the program requires more memory at runtime, and real-time PRPD classification may cause computation backlogs, memory overload, or memory leaks.
ROCm and MIGraphX have not been tested because no supported graphics card was available.
With OpenVINO, the CPU may overheat due to AVX operations.

💡 Note: The CUDA feature was tested with CUDA 12.9 ToolKit and CUDNN 9.10. The background noise removal feature requires CUDA 11.8 and CUDNN 8.7.
