Activate/Deactivate

Activates/deactivate queue elements.

Format:

SPECTRA> ac$*$tivate [id1 [id2]]

Format:

SPECTRA> dea$*$ctivate [id1 [id2]]

Description:

Queue elements can be active or not. Active queue elements are displayed by a display command or plotted by a postscript command.

If you use the set command with the wild-card character “$*$" or the autoscale and overlay commands without parameter, only active queue elements are affected.

Deactivated GQEs are marked with a ”$*$” in the show list.

If no parameter is specified, the whole queue is activated/deactivated. IF both id's are given, a range of queue elements is modified. Wild-cards are also allowed.

A display command acting on a single queue element activates this element and deactivates all others.

e.g.:

SPECTRA> activate
Activates the whole queue.

SPECTRA> activate bpu1
Activates a single GQE.

SPECTRA> deac bpu1.$*$
Deactivates the SCAN bpu1 and the TEXTs that are in the same slot.

SPECTRA> ac 1.0 5.4
Activates all queue elements between 1 and 5.4.

SPECTRA> dea $*$.4
Deactivates the fourth GQE in all slots.
