Note -- (1) All bold-faced names are the modules or the names of parameter blocks in the GUI flow.
Note -- (2) N/A means that these parameters were exported and saved to a file by the GUI, but they are not used when
apex_multiframe is run on command-line.
Note -- (3) Initial Setup has two sub-settings dialogs: one is Optional Input & Mask Files and the second one is General
Options.
Note -- (4) N/A** means that the parameter is set implicitly in the GUI flow.
