Controlling Histo-Scope Calls

The SML processor reads the SMLC titles bank for two pieces of information:

1. The auto-start histoscope switch. A zero specifies that SNOMAN Live should start up without starting an attached Histo-Scope process. A non-zero value requests that SML start up a Histo-Scope attached window. Note that in either case, SML can later be attached to by starting up Histo-Scope separately on the same machine and searching for the SNOMAN Live process under the menu item ``file/process//connect to process''. This switch can also be controlled by the command ``$sml_start_histo''. For example:-

   $sml_start_histo $yes

2. The number of events SNOMAN processes before each update in Histo-Scope. A period that is too large will create large delays between in updatings of Histo-Scope. A period that is too small might slow SNOMAN down marginally, dependant on the ``preferences// update frequency'' setting on Histo-Scope. This variable can be set by the ``$sml_update_period'' command. For example:-

   $sml_update_period 100
