Instead of using precompiled code with the IDL Virtual Machine,
you can run all programs in a licensed IDL session. The following
will describe parameters and keywords which a skilled user should
know.
- SM_GUI:
sm_gui [,config_file=config_file] [,/cryo] [,/display_only]
[,/inboard] [,/localhost] [,/outboard]
For a detailed description see 5.
- stack_setup_stxm5: You don't have to set up your
stack from within SM_GUI, but can do it with this
program stand alone. The output is a file called
stack_script.dat, which contains all script commands
necessary to run the stack.
stack_setup [,sm_par]
- sm_par: If you presently have the template
file open, you can pass the sm_par structure. If
not, you can of course still browse for a file later.
- sm_script: Allows you to run the microscopes in
command line mode, or working through a script file. It is
commonly used to run stacks.
sm_script [,ScriptFileName] [,/background] [,/cryo]
[,/inboard] [,/localhost] [,/outboard]
- ScriptFileName: A string containing the
name (maybe with path) of the file to run as script. If
omitted, sm_script will look for a file named
stack_script.dat.
- background: Must specify, if you intend to run
sm_script in the background (Linux). This will
prevent the abort widget from popping up.
- cryo, inboard, outboard: You must specify
which microscope to run.
- localhost: If you start sm_script
on a machine outside the private X1A subnet, you need to tunnel
the necessary ports via ssh (see
11.3) and specify this
keyword.
- stack_monitor: Allows to monitor the progress of
an ongoing stack. The 3 most recently collected files are
displayed.
stack_monitor [,FileDir=FileDir] [,ImgSize=ImgSize]
- FileDir: You can specify (as string) the directory where
to look for collected files. e.g.
FileDir='C:/path/data'
- ImgSize: Size of images in pixels.
