init_composition

Purpose:

Initialize gas composition for the test cell by reading specification files and updating shared memory.

Enter:

init_composition [filename] [-l]

Where:

filename

Optional. Specify the filename that contains the specifications of the gases being used at the test cell. The default is /specs/properties/comp_specs.nnn where nnn is the est cell number.

-l

Optional. Specify this flag to display the complete list of valid stream identifiers on the monitor. The process terminates after listing the valid stream identifiers.

Example:

init_composition /specs/properties/comp.103
The above command spawns init_composition which will use the file /specs/properties/comp.103 for the initialization.

Notes:

This command is normally spawned in the go script and processes files to set initial composition values.
