It is possible to run sift from the command line, this offers several advantages:

• With no need to update a GUI or plots the application will run much faster
• With experience it makes it possible to quickly execute commands
• Creating a bat file or python script it is possible to completely automate processing

To start sift in command line mode, open a command line console, navigate to Sift's install directory and run sift with any argument that starts with a single dash (-) if you do not want to run any commands as Sift is launched you can instead pass -NoGUI

• Commands are prefixed with a dash these are considered a reserved character, but Sift will ignore any dashes that are within double quotes so file-name.txt will cause an error, where “file-name.txt” will not.
• Commands and parameters are case insensitive
• any parameters containing a space or a dash (e.g. a folder path) must be wrapped in double quotes (“”)
• Command parameters are named not positional, so the order they are passed does not matter
• Some commands have a default parameter, in these cases the parameter name can be omitted, for example with -loadLib the directory parameter name is optional. so either of the following will work: -loadLib directory “folder path” or -loadLib “folder path”. These parameters are marked as default in the list below
• Commands can be entered all at once in the same command that launches sift, or one at a time
• To exit pass the command -Exit, or press Ctrl + C to quickly exit at any time (Sift will exit once the current command finishes executing)
• Most commands have one or more aliases that will be accepted

If at any point you need help remembering a command or its parameters you can use the help function. Enter the command -Help to receive a list of all available commands within the command line:

This will display the commands default name and any aliases separated by |'s, below each will be a brief description of the command as well as a list of all it's parameters

From here, if you want some more information about a specific command and its parameters you can enter the command of interest and pass it the help parameter, this will give a more detailed description of the command and its parameters:

This will display the command name and any accepted aliases, and below that a list of all parameters complete with a description and some more details about the parameter:

• Whether or not this parameter is required for the command to run
• The default value of the parameter if its not passed
• The expected data type of the parameter
