4 Command line options.

batch

Run the program in batch mode. If this command line argument is specified a version of the program without the GUI routines will be run. You will need to write a batch program to drive the data reduction, see the -e option.

c

Load a particular optical configuration on startup. Note that this configuration must be available from either the standard configuration file or the user's personal configuration file. If the configuration is not available the program will not initialize correctly, so should be restarted.

e

Execute the tcl script specified after initializing the program (using the ef script). The file you specify must contain valid tcl code, otherwise the program will terminate.

largefont

Use 18 pt font.

hugefont

Use 24 point font.

massivefont

Use 40 point font, (note: this font appears to be missing on Sunos 4.*).

np

Do not load previous program properties and configurations. By default the program will remember your previously chosen data reduction configurations, and miscellaneous properties, like your preferred sub-window locations. If you specify this flag on the command line the program will not load this file. This option can be useful, if the configuration file becomes corrupted or otherwise mangled. Note that when you exit the program

pf

Change the file name for loading the personal configuration file. By using this switch you may keep several configuration files, and select which one to use on program startup.

pd

Change the directory for finding a personal configuration file, from the default location.

w

Set the program to use a slightly different form of the wavefront correction algorithm. This algorithm is not yet trustworthy, so do not use it.

z

Set the program to use the standard feedback algorithm. This is the default for the program, so you should not need to use this switch.
