In the future, whenever the MobileView terminal or the personal computer starts, FactoryTalk View Machine Edition Station will start automatically, delete the applications log files, overwrite the terminal's communications file, and run the application.
If you do not want to delete the log files, omit the /d parameter.
If you do not want to overwrite the communications file, omit the /o parameter.
To give the user the choice of overwriting the communications file, use the /a parameter instead of the /o parameter.
