Command Line
SimSig can be started with command line options. Most follow the format -xx:yy where xx is the option and yy is the value. These are as follows:
View Window

Example |
| -vx |

Screen Y position of the view window |
-vy:100 |
| -vw |
Width of the view window |
-vw:640 |
| -vh |
Height of the view window |

All four of vx/vy/vw/vh must be specified together otherwise the simulator defaults will be used.
