MAESTRO-32
®
v6 (A65-B32)
The ASK commands will also stop the
.JOB
file and prompt you to enter the requested information. The
.JOB
file will continue when you click on OK or press <Enter> on the dialog.
The input is used or stored immediately, before the next JOB instruction, except for the
ASK_SPECTRUM command.
NOTE
As is the case when saving with the menu or toolbar commands, if you choose Cancel when responding to an ask-on-save prompt, the entire save operation is canceled for that particular spectrum.
6.1.4. Password-Locked Detectors
When
.JOB
files are used with locked Detectors, the first time a destructive command is used on the locked Detector, you will be prompted for the password. Alternatively, you can use the
ASK_PASSWORD command at the beginning of the JOB. From then on while the
.JOB
file executes,the password is retained and you will not receive a prompt. When the
.JOB
file quits, the password is forgotten.
6.1.5. .JOB Files and the New Multiple-Detector Interface
This release of MAESTRO allows you to open eight Detector windows and eight buffer windows at one time. However, as in previous MAESTRO releases, there is no limit on the number of Detectors that can be operated using
.JOB
files, and only one JOB at a time can run in a single instance of MAESTRO. The only difference in MAESTRO V6 is that a Detector window will open for each SET_DETECTOR command in the JOB, to a maximum of eight, and these windows will function as follows:
! JOB streams use the SET_DETECTOR command to open Detector windows. If eight
Detector windows are already open and SET_DETECTOR is issued to open a ninth window, the oldest displayed Detector window will be closed without prompting.
! Once a Detector window is open, it cannot be closed within a JOB except by exceeding the eighth window open.
! On startup, MAESTRO will attempt to open with all Detector windows that were open the last time the program was shut down. Therefore, when running a JOB from the command line, if you wish to see only the Detector window(s) called from the JOB stream, use "-b" on the command line to force MAESTRO to open in a buffer window (see Section A.1). When running MAESTRO in interactive mode, be sure to close any windows you do not wish to see during the JOB execution.
! The same buffer window is always selected by the commands in a JOB, therefore, a JOB does not open multiple buffer windows.
