CHAPTER 5 THE ACC2 CONTROL FILES:
The control files for the ACC2 program is located at the C:\acc\seq directory. The ACC2 program uses 3 control files: The run file, the timer file and the sequence file.
The operator should write these three files. The recommended editor is the Windows 95 notepad program. EDIT in DOS can also be used. The format of the control files has to be DOS ASCII. (MARK: Then do not use Word, Word Pad etc. ..)
1)The run file:
The run file is named RUN.ACC .
The RUN.ACC file contains 1 executable line.
Lines starting with # in first column are comment lines.
When the first line in the RUN.ACC line has the content:
RUN <filename>
The <filename> is the full path of the timer file the camera should run.
Example:
RUN c:\acc\seq\timer_2.fil
2)The TIMER file:
The current timer file is the filename after the RUN in run file. In the Example above the current timer file is named "timer_2.fil" in c:\acc\seq\ directory. It is recommended the operator uses DOS compatible file names when he creates new timer files.
The timer file defines the intervals when the camera should run.
The timer file has the format:
start
The <filename> is the full path of a sequence file.
Note: The sequence file name can be different at different lines in the timer file.
Example:
start
