When Allow multiple instances is switched on in the Multi Channel software, each launch of the Multi Channel software will open a new instance. Any command line parameter is used in that instance. When Allow multiple instances is switched off (default), each launch will activate the current instance. Any command line parameter will be passed on to the current instance and executed there. Several command line options work best when Allow multiple instances is switched off.

The following applies to the command line parameters:

command line options are case-insensitive
values between [ ] are optional
values between ( ) are mandatory
values after = are the defaults.
if the option string contains spaces, it must be escaped with quotes
multiple command line options can be used in a single call
