The utility program named "aidaget" takes one mandatory argument (the name of the target); several optional parameters control how it operates. You can specify "-help" as a parameter to see simple options. Some of the more interesting options are specific to each data-provider, which may support optional or require mandatory paramters.
ExampleThe following example retrieves history data. It illustrates how you can specify data provider parameters (in this case STARTTIME and ENDTIME) and control output format (-format=columns -labels):
| No Format |

As you can see, data provider parameters are specified as -params=NAME=VALUE;...;NAME=VALUE;. Note the need to enclose embedded whitespace within " marks to prevent the shell from treating it as a boundary between strings.
