2.4.2. Editing the MCB Configuration Command Line
The command line for the MCB Configuration program is:
7
“C:\Program Files\Common Files\ORTEC Shared\UMCBI\mcbcon32.exe”
You can modify the way the MCB Configuration program runs by adding one or more of the following flags to the command line. You can use any combination of flags or none, and the flags are not case-sensitive.
-I
Ignore duplicate IDs. MCB Configuration allows you to accept an instrument list with duplicate detector ID numbers; no renumbering is required. Useful for customers using our QA tools, JOB commands, and “Gamma Total” function; and when sharing a network with other users of ORTEC MCBs.
-L
Configure only local instruments (i.e., no discovery of ORTEC instruments across a network except “attached” digiBASE-E units). This can significantly reduce the time it takes to run MCB Configuration, if you have only local MCBs.
-P
Append all newly discovered instruments to the existing list (i.e., don’t clear the existing list before starting discovery). Useful when you don’t have all your instruments connected or powered-on at the same time but wish to configure new detectors.
There are two ways to modify the MCB Configuration command line:
! To retain the flags from use to use, right-click MCB Configuration in the Start menu, select Properties, then in the Target field, add the flags outside the right-hand quotation mark and click OK. For instance:
“C:\Program Files\Common Files\ORTEC Shared\UMCBI\mcbcon32.exe” -I -L
! To temporarily change the command line, open the Windows Start menu’s Run... dialog, browse to locate the MCB Configuration file,
mcbcon32.exe
, add the flags outside the right-hand quotation mark, and click OK.
You are now ready to register your copy of GammaVision, as discussed in the next section.
