CAL FILE Format
In place of command line parameters, or DLL function parameters,
the configuration
of the file to import or export can be specified in a file of the
same name with a .cal
extension. See samplePts.csv and samplePts.cal for an example.
Command Line Parameters:
PWDBConvert [ImportFileName],[ExportFileName],[CalFileName]
The [CalFileName] can be omitted if it is the
same name as the import file name. The software will automatically
look for a .cal file with the same name.
