APPENDIX A. STARTUP AND CONFIGURATION
OPTIONS
To start GammaVision, enter gamm in the “
and files search programs
” box then click the GammaVision search result; or open the Windows Start menu and click GammaVision, and
GammaVision (Fig. 325). You can also start GammaVision by entering run in the search box and choosing the Run search result; or (in XP) by selecting Run... from the Start menu. The Run option allows you to start up from the command line, with or without arguments, as described below.
A.1. Command Line Options
Fig. 325. GammaVision
Menu.
GammaVision is run with the following command line properties:
GV32 [-d[n]] [-L file.lib] [-p listname] [-t] [-l] [-B] [-z] [file.job]
All of the arguments are optional; one or more can be omitted. Thus, at a minimum, Gamma-
Vision can be executed without any arguments at all, in which case certain defaults apply for the
Detector list and nuclide library, as described below. Switches (e.g., lowercase (e.g.,
-d
or
-D
,
-z
or
-Z
).
-d
,
-z
) can be uppercase or
[n]
An optional parameter for the
-d
switch to enable debugging output mode at a specified level (values are 1 or 2; no argument is equivalent to 1). Default is no debugging. Debug mode is not recommended for general use.
file.lib
An optional nuclide library (use with
-L
option) to be loaded at startup. The default is the library loaded when GammaVision exited.
-p listname
Optionally uses listname as the Detector pick list name. The pick list name must be
5 characters or less. If a pick list is not specified,
in Windows 7 and
Settings\All Users\ORTEC Shared\UMCBI
M32MCA.CFG
— located in
in XP — is used by default. The current

pick list name is displayed above the Pick List column in the Detector List Editor dialog (Services/Edit Detector List...). If the pick list name specified by pick
does not exist then one is created. This new list will contain all available detectors included in the Master Detector List. If the pick list already exists, only the detectors defined in that list are displayed in the Detector droplist on the toolbar.
Changes made to the pick list with the Edit Detector List... command are stored with the active pick list filename. Therefore, to create multiple pick lists, use the
-p option with the pick list name and then edit the list to contain only the desired
Detectors. The contents of the list can be overridden with the Edit Detector list function. The new list will be stored for use the next time this instance of
GammaVision is run.
Forces GammaVision to be “Always on Top.” The default is the normal Windows display.
Allows one and only one instance to run. This is the numeral one.
Start up with an open buffer window. This should be used if the PC is on a network and no MCBs are connected anywhere in the system.
The “zoom” switch with several variations:
-z
or
-z:
With no arguments, causes the previously stored “ZOOM:” parameters (see page 421) to be used to position and size the
GammaVision window.
-z:x,y,w,h
Changes the position and size of the GammaVision window. The arguments (which are the same as for the ZOOM: profile variables, page 421) are: x y w h
= x position of upper-left corner of window (0 is left)
= y position of upper-left corner of window (0 is top)
= width of window in pixels, starting at x
and going right
= height in pixels, starting at y
and going down
-z0
Forces position and size to be determined by Windows tiling algorithm.
-z+1
-z-1
Forces GammaVision to be maximized.
Forces GammaVision to be minimized (icon).
