on the desired MCS.
This file is included on the MCS-32 CD-ROM under the name
SAMPLE.JOB
. If a typical instal-
lation was performed, this file will be located in c:\User .
Now select Services/Job Control. Click once on an existing .JOB filename then click the Edit
File button. This will display the contents of that file in Windows Notepad. You could overwrite
the existing instructions with the above set of commands by saving the above commands to the
.JOB
filename you just selected in the dialog. Instead, though, save these new instructions to a
new file named SAMPDATA.JOB using the File/Save As function (do not use Save or the
original file will be lost).
This new .JOB file can then be executed in MCS-32 from the Services menu by selecting Job
Control... to display the Run JOB File dialog. Select
SAMPDATA.JOB
from the list of files and
click Open.
8.1.1. Improving the JOB
This .JOB file can be improved by adding a save step for each spectrum collected. This is done
by inserting the SAVE command in the
.JOB
file. The spectrum sample description is also
entered here. This sample description is saved with the spectrum and is printed by the REPORT
command. Note that the loop counter (the ??? in the
.JOB file text) is used in the SAVE and
DESCRIBE_SAMPLE commands.
The new SAMPDATA.JOB file is:
SET_MCS 1
SET_DWELL_TIME 1e-6
SET_PASS_LENGTH 7500
SET_PRESET_PASS 1000
