Some useful procedures

1. PROC BIAS To obtain a series of bias frames

   Adam:PROC BIAS Proc:> DECLARE X LOCAL Proc:> PRINT `` Proc:> PRINT ``HOW MANY BIAS RUNS?" Proc:> ACCEPT X Proc:> DO N = 1 TO X Proc:> RUN 0 ``BIAS" Proc:> PRINT ``" Proc:> PRINT ``COMPLETED BIAS RUN ", N Proc:> PRINT ``" Proc:> END DO Proc:> END PROC

   To run Adam:BIAS and respond to question

2. PROC F To change and verify filters

   Adam:PROC F P1 Proc:> DECLARE P1 CHAR 2 Proc:> PRINT ``" Proc:> FILTER P1 Proc:> FILTSTATUS Proc:> PRINT ``" Proc:> END PROC

   To run Adam:F B for the B filter, e.g.

3. PROC R to check run and filter status

   Adam:PROC R Proc:> PRINT ``" Proc:> PRINT ``STATUS CHECK ........" Proc:> PRINT ``" Proc:> RUNSTATUS Proc:> PRINT ``" Proc:> FILTSTATUS Proc:> PRINT ``" Proc:> END PROC

   To run ADAM:> R

4. PROC MULTEXP to check that previous MULTEXP run has been kept

   Adam:PROC MULTEXP Proc:> DCL INDEX LOCAL Proc:> PRINT ``" Proc:> PRINT ``HAVE YOU KEPT THE PREVIOUS EXPOSURE?" Proc:> PRINT ``DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE (Y/N)?" Proc:> COMMAND ``Y,N",INDEX Proc:> PRINT ``" Proc:> IF INDEX = 1 Proc:> MULTEXP Proc:> END IF Proc:> END PROC

   To run Adam:> MULTEXP and follow prompts

5. PROC P for using PHOTOM routines

Adam:Proc:> PROC P Proc:> PRINT Proc:> PRINT `` Proc:> PRINT ``IMAGE EXAMINATION WITH THE LEXIDATA > > > > > > > > > > > > > > " Proc:> PRINT `` Proc:> PHOTOM Proc:> END PROC

To run Adam:P and use the controls on the LEXIDATA box
