Arguments

add
Use the file browser to open the session file, <session file>, with parameters. This file becomes available for the append and replace arguments.
append
Append pages in a session with the template file, <template file>. Select from the displayed files.
Default values for <name>=<value> if not otherwise defined:
autofitx=on/off
Locks the x axis of the current plot so that it does not change as new plots are overlaid. Default is "on".

Locks the y axis of the current plot so that it does not change as new plots are overlaid. Default is "on".
autoplacenotes=on/off
Automatically fits any notes you add to the window. Default is "off".

By default, when set to "on", line colors, line styles, symbol colors, and symbol styles are applied based on the report template.
PLOT_FILE_1="<filepath>"
Select a file from the file browser.
overlay
Overlay pages in a session with the template file, <template file>. Select from the displayed files.
instance
This option only affects the report if there is more than one appended report, followed by an overlay. The input is a number which determines which appended report the overlay report is applied to. For example, after appending a report with five pages three times (15 pages), overlay the report over the 3rd instance (pages 11-15) instance=3.
Note: Only the instance and not the page number is accepted.
