Running ACE
ACE can be run in three different modes:
• GUI
• Command line
• Batch
To run in GUI mode, invoke the ace executable either with no options or with the -gui option. GUI mode
launches the interactive GUI, from which all commands are issued.
To run in command-line mode, invoke the ace executable with the -b option from a console. Command-
line mode takes control of the console and allows the user to interactively enter Tcl commands at a command
prompt.
To run in batch mode, invoke the ace executable with the -b option and the -script file <script>
option. Batch mode then runs the specified Tcl script to completion and returns a success/failure return
code.
Other command-line options
• -project file <project file name> will load the specified project file when used in GUI
mode.
• -log file <log file name> will specify a session log location other than the default location in
the <user home>/.achronix/ directory.
• -script args <arg list> may be used with script file to pass in command-line args to the
script. In this case, the -script args option must be the last ACE command-line option.
