for each SET_DETECTOR command in the JOB, to a maximum of eight, and these windows 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.

! The same buffer window is always selected by the commands in a JOB, therefore, a JOB does not open multiple buffer windows.

! When you start a JOB, a Detector window will open for each Detector called by the

.JOB

file. The JOB filename will be echoed on the main GammaVision title bar as well as on the title bars of all open spectrum windows.

Note that the JOB processor does not support the simultaneous, multiple-detector start, stop, start/save/report, and clear functions that are available from the toolbar and menu commands.

10.1.2. JOB Command Structure

In the command descriptions in Section 10.4, a variable filename or text is enclosed in “...” and a variable number is enclosed in <...>; anything enclosed in square brackets [...] is optional.

10.2. .JOB File Variables

Variables have been added to the

.JOB

file features to allow more flexibility and control of the

JOBS. These variables are defined by the program or by user entries. They can be used anywhere in the

.JOB

file.

For example:

$(FullPath)= D:\USER\SOIL\SAM001.SPC

then:

$(FullBase) =

$(FileExt) =

$(FileDir) =

$(ShortPath)

$(ShortBase)

D:\USER\SOIL\SAM001

SPC

D:\USER\SOIL

= SAM001.SPC

= SAM001
