Creating an AutoProgram

1. Select a directory, then an image file within it, from the file browsing window at the right of the NanoScope main window. Double-click its thumbnail to select and open the image. The image file name and the Offline icon, as well as a Multiple Channel icon and the words Multiple Channel are added to the Workflow Toolbar (Workspace), and the image opens in the viewing window, shown in Figure 1.

2. In the The Workflow Toolbar, right-click on the image file name or its Offline icon and select Create AutoProgram (see Figure 2). You may also right-click on the Multiple Channel icon or Multiple Channel and select Create AutoProgram. 

3. You are asked if you want to include the selected image to define the AutoProgram among the images processed by the AutoProgram (see Figure 3). (Typically: Yes.) The Add Linked box should also be checked. When linking, any changes made to the currently active view will then alter any linked views.

4. In the AutoProgram Results View (see Figure 4):

1. Right-click on AutoProgram, under the file name or icon appearing on the line under Run Group.

2. Click Add View to add a view to the AutoProgram. This view will then be added to all files in the AutoProgram if they are linked.

3. Click the view of an Offline command to be performed first by the AutoProgram.

4. Repeat for additional views.
