Hello, I have implemented an autoprint feature into the monitoring software. This arose from the need to have a set of spectra to print at regular periods and relying on people to go through the list and print out the necessary pictures was not practical. It didn't even really work for me! So there is now a new button called Autoprint in the global array frame of the SuperMonitor. Pressing this button causes a list of "registered" pictures to be printed out automatically. The way to register these pictures is in the Init() method of the BrOnlineMonitorXXX to use AddPicture(pict,"autoprint"); or AddHistogram(hist,"autoprint"); Specifying the autoprint option will cause that particular picture to be added to the autoprint list and hence to be printed out when the Autoprint button is pressed. I have added the autoprint option to a few pictures that I thought were important. The detector "experts" who maintain the respective BrOnlineMonitorXXXs for their detectors should modify those monitors to add the autoprint to the pictures that they wish to be printed out in an automatic fashion. I would urge you, however, to be conservative. The number of pictures printed out for each autoprint needs to be kept to a manageable level. If too many are printed out, we will use alot of paper, fill alot of folders and there is a good chance they will not be looked at. This would also be a good time to add a good summary picture to your monitor as well as possibly take away a bunch that are seldom if ever looked at. There are only a few detectors that have good summary pictures that give a flavor of what the detector is doing by looking at only that one picture. brop in the operator account will be updated momentarily with the autoprint pictures I have implemented. Enjoy Kris
