Running AutoProgram

Once all commands are included in the AutoProgram list and their action specified, you are ready to run AutoProgram.

1. Click the Add Files... button in the AutoProgram Results view (see Figure 1). The Add Files dialog box appears.
2. In the Add Files dialog box, select the Link Files box to have the same AutoProgram instructions apply to each file. Select files of interest and click Add to have the selected files included when the AutoProgram is run. Hold down the Shift key to select a consecutive group of files or the Control key to select more than one individual file.
3. In the AutoProgram Results view, check the Hide Views box if you don’t want the images displayed, as they are automatically analyzed by the AutoProgram. If you want to see the images processed during AutoProgram execution, leave Hide Views unchecked. Increasing the value in Computation Time allows more time to view operations during AutoProgram execution.
