TESTPLATEFIT

TESTPLATEFIT calls the test plate fitting routine. See "Test Plate Fitting".

Syntax:

TESTPLATEFIT tpd_file, log_file, method, number_cycles

Discussion:

This keyword requires string expressions for the test plate data file, and the name of a file for the output log file. The method is an integer between 0 and 4, inclusive, for try all methods, best to worst, worst to best, long to short, and short to long, respectively. The integer number_cycles is 0 for automatic or the maximum number of optimization cycles to execute. Note the tpd_file name should NOT include the path, since all test plate files are in a fixed folder; while the path should be included for the log file.

This keyword may take a long time to execute. It is advisable to display the log file after completion of the fitting, or use some other means to indicate when the fitting is complete.

Example:

TESTPLATEFIT "optico.tpd", "c:\temp\logfile.dat", 0, 0
SHOWFILE "c:\temp\logfile.dat"
