== Midas experiment ==
The [[Application listing|MIDAS utility]] input parameter
;  [-e <exptname> ] :specifies the MIDAS experiment to connect to (where multiple experiments are defined on the MIDAS host (see [[exptab]]). This option supersedes the default experiment name given by the environment variable [[Compilation & Build #MIDAS_EXPT_NAME|MIDAS_EXPT_NAME]] , if defined. If multiple experiments are defined, unless  [[Compilation & Build #MIDAS_EXPT_NAME|MIDAS_EXPT_NAME]] is defined or this argument is supplied, the application will request the experiment name.
 
 
 
== Midas host ==
The [[Application listing|MIDAS utility]] input parameter
; [-h <hostname> ] : specifies the MIDAS host to connect to when connecting to an experiment running on a remote host. "hostname" must be a valid IP host name. This option supersedes the default hostname given by the environment variable [[Compilation & Build #MIDAS_SERVER_HOST|MIDAS_SERVER_HOST]] , if defined. Note that the [[mserver]] utility must be running on the remote host in this case. If the experiment is running on the local host, this argument need not be supplied.
 
 
Note:
 
If the environment variable [[Compilation & Build #MIDAS_DIR|MIDAS_DIR]] (i.e. single default experiment) is defined, the arguments -e and -h  and environment variables [[Compilation & Build #MIDAS_EXPT_NAME|MIDAS_EXPT_NAME]] and  [[Compilation & Build #MIDAS_SERVER_HOST|MIDAS_SERVER_HOST]] will be superseded.
