REPORT “filename”
Generates a paragraph-style report in the selected file. This command has the same function
as File/Report.... See Section 6.1.4 for a description of the report format.
The output can be printed on the printer (PRN), or sent to a disk file, which can be used by
other programs or printed later. The loop count value can be included in the filename by
typing three question marks in the text where the loop count is to be inserted. The loop count
replaces “???” in the filename.
RUN “program”
Executes an application named “program”. This is typically an .EXE filename. Note that the
program will not run to completion before returning to MCS-32 unless it is run at higher
priority or the WAIT “program” command is used (see also the discussion of WAIT
“program” on p. 77).
RUN_MINIMIZED “program [arguments]”
This command executes an application named “program” in a minimized window. This is
typically an
.EXE or .PIF filename. Note that the program will not run to completion before
returning to the MCS-32 program unless it is run at higher priority or the WAIT “program”
command is used.
SAVE “[d:][\path\]file[.mcs]”
This command, which has the same function as Save As... under the File menu, saves the
MCS or buffer to a disk file. The disk filename (in quotation marks) can be any valid file-
name; the drive [d:], path [\path\] and extension [.mcs] are optional. If an extension is not
supplied, the default extension is automatically
.MCS . Also, the current drive and directory
are used by default when the optional path specification is not supplied. The loop count
value can be included in the filename by typing three question marks in the text where the
loop count is to be inserted. The loop count replaces “???” wherever it appears.
SAVE_ROI “[d:][\path\]file[.roi]”
This command, which has the same function as Save ROI... under the ROI menu, saves in a
disk file, a table of channel numbers that have the ROI set for the buffer. The contents of the
spectrum are not altered by this operation. The disk filename (in quotation marks) can be any
valid filename, with optional elements as described for the SAVE command. The default
extension is
.ROI . The loop count value can be included in the filename by typing three
question marks in the text where the loop count is to be inserted. The loop count replaces
“???” wherever it appears. This command fails if the buffer is not selected.
