fulltree or ft Will display the complete property tree (including the data not meant to be accessed by the user) in the property grid. Example (Tree will be shown): fulltree=1
fullscreen or fs Will directly switch to full-screen mode. Make sure to select a device as well and configure it for live acquisition. Example: ImpactControlCenter device=VD000001 live=1 fullscreen=1
device or d Will directly open a device with a particular serial number. '*' can be used as a wildcard, just * will take the first device. Example: d=GX000735

interfaceConfiguration Will directly launch the interface configuration and driver information dialog. Example: interfaceConfiguration=1
live Will directly start live acquisition from the device opened via device or d directly. Example (will start the live acquisition): live=1
allowFullDeviceFileAccess Grants full access to files which are hidden by default (such as the device firmware) through the file up- and download wizard. Be sure you know what you are doing when using this parameter. You might damage your device! Example: allowFullDeviceFileAccess=1

To open an image file from hard disk just pass the full path to the image as a command-line parameter.

Examples

ImpactControlCenter d=* fulltree=1 qsw=0

This will start the first available device, will hide the Quick Setup Wizard and will display the complete property tree.
