-attach_to_viz

Attaches to a running viz.exe without asking the user to terminate it.
If a Viz Engine process is already running locally, and this process started with the parameters required for Viz Trio (-u1 -M), this command line option omits the notification "viz.exe is already running. Terminate?". The viz.exe process continues and attaches without asking the user to confirm. If there is no Viz Engine process running, Viz Trio starts up its own process as before, regardless of whether the command is present. This command is a flag only and has no parameter value.

In the quoted -t parameter, the following strings can be used:

• %v - version

• %gh_db - the name of the Graphic hub database name (usually VizDb)

-viz-console-delay
