Name

ISM_update.com - Update Vector files for Slow Monitoring

Synopsis

@slc_ism:ISM_update [dtime]

Description

ISM_update.com updates the vector files for the slow monitoring visualization program. It generates files covering a time interval given by dtime, the default value is the last 24 hours.

The command lists a summary of the detector signals for which data was found. The information is arranged as a ring/module matrix, were each element can be '*','.','E' or 'M'. Problems are highlighted on red, for details check the documentation of ISM_dat2vec.

Parameters and qualifiers:
dtime Specifies the beginning of the time interval to be displayed. It can be entered in a number of ways:
                 36h   refering to the last n hours
                  3d   refering to the last n days
                -2-3   any valid VMS delta time (here 2 days, 3 hours ago)
         10-jun-1998   any valid VMS absolute time
               12:00   again VMS absolute time, here today noon
   10-jun-1998:22:00   again VMS absolute time, note the : between date and time

Examples

$ set def slc_ism: $ @ISM_update will produce vector files containing data for the last 24 hours.

Note

The command is rather slow, it takes typically 2m30s to complete. The reason is that about 650 vector files will be deleted and created, and file creation and deletion is a slow process on VMS, no matter how fast the CPU is.
