Descriptions of the [Parameters] Page (External Command)

The [Parameters] page (External Command) allows you to set the parameters for external commands.
The [Parameters] to be passed when the command is started and [Result Parameters] to be returned after the command is run are listed separately based on the contents of the external command settings file. The displayed items vary depending on the contents of the external command settings file.

The following explains each item of the [Parameters] page (External Command).
