### Example:

*To convert all the RXD files in a folder to asc, use the below script:*

#### @echo off

CD C:\Program Files (x86)\Influx Technology\ReXdeskConvert\\&\&rexdeskconvert convert-folder -F asc -I “C:\Users\usern\Desktop\Input” -O “C:\Users\usern\Desktop\Output”

*To merge and convert all the RXD files in a folder to CSV, use the below script:*

#### @echo off

CD C:\Program Files (x86)\Influx Technology\ReXdeskConvert\\&\&rexdeskconvert convert-folder -C -F csv -I “C:\Users\user\Desktop\Input” -O “C:\Users\user\Desktop\Output”

*To merge and convert all the RXD files in a folder to CSV after linking the DBC file, use the below script:*

#### @echo off

CD C:\Program Files (x86)\Influx Technology\ReXdeskConvert\\&\&rexdeskconvert convert-folder -C -F asc -I “C:\Users\user\Desktop\Input” -O “C:\Users\user\Desktop\Output” -s can0 “C:\Users\user\Desktop\ReXgen\_IMU\_Out\_V2.dbc”
