The Startup Script tool allows the user to customize the layout every time it is launched and is particularly useful to adapt standardized layouts to data acquired on different instruments with different settings for storing the data files.

 

Layout customization is performed via a series of questions which appear to the user as messages on the screen when a script is defined. The layout or plots will be customized based on the user's answers to the scripted questions.

 

Possible scripting customizations are:

Loading a specific file on specific plots and/or on specific overlays

Change parameters on specific plots and/or on specific overlays

Change the parameters used for a specific gate

Change the template file for a transformation

Replace or Add parameters to an existing transformation

 

The questions, and the corresponding actions, are defined via an XML script.
