These directories need to be in the current directory when you run CheckElectionTranscript.exe. The first argument is the name of the file containing the ASN.1 transcript. This is a file on a detachable disk that the receipt station writes receipt copies to. It may be named VHReceiptStore.dat. If a receipt bucket file is specified then CheckElectionTranscript will ensure that all receipts in the bucket are accounted for in the transcript.
All messages sent to standard output are also copied to a log file name checker.log.
This log file will be generated in the executable's working directory. This file must be in the same directory as the CheckElectionTranscript.exe executable. It may be empty. When an election is not in Test Mode, only SignedVotedBallots that do not correspond to Test Certificates are counted. The Election Transcript Checker code takes this into account, in effect allowing the software that generates the election transcript to be tested on elections that are set to tabulate in Test Mode.
