CLI parameters

OrbitWorkbench is a Windows x64 application by Jost Jahn. Its orbit determination core is compiled from Bill Gray’s Find_Orb source, with lunar, planetary and satellite libraries. It does not control an external Find_Orb executable. The GUI keeps observations, residuals, timing diagnostics, station details and ephemerides together. Interface labels, menus, messages, hover help, calculated texts and documentation support six languages. Settings → Language applies changes immediately.

OrbitWorkbench.exe [observations.obs|observations.psv|observations.xml]
OrbitWorkbench.exe --help
OrbitWorkbench.exe -h
OrbitWorkbench.exe --install-data all
OrbitWorkbench.exe --install-data choose
OrbitWorkbench.exe --about
OrbitWorkbench.exe --data-folder

Without parameters the GUI opens. An observation path imports that file. --help / -h writes cli-help.txt in the application data folder and returns. --install-data all starts provider downloads; choose opens the selection only. --about opens information, --data-folder opens local data. Internal --core-worker request.json is reserved for app-generated calculation jobs; it is not a general command or remote service. ORBITWORKBENCH_HOME may set an explicit writable data directory; use a full path and preserve it across updates.

Internal CLI: --core-host parentPID parentStartTicks receives application-generated request paths through standard input. It is not a network service or a user-facing calculation command. The parent identity and project-local control paths are validated.
