Name

HISTmngr_v2 - dosimetry histogram display client

Synopsis

HISTmngr_v2 <argument_list>

Description

This program displays histograms (1D) and contours (2D) contained in a shared memory region.

Another program such as listp_v2(8) is used to collect the data from the electronics and update the array values contained in the shared memory.

load_lp_config_v2(8) is used to create the shared memory segment and initialize it’s contents according to the instructions contained in a configuration file usually named pconv(5) .

read_lp_config_v2(8) may be used to read the configuration values and save them in a file. One possible use of this is to save gate settings for a particular species or energy.

read_lp_data_v2(8) may be used to read the contents of a particular array and dump it in a file. The data is dumped in ascii making it easy to import into another program.

This manual page may not contain information about every feature contained in HISTmngr. Features such as keyboard shortcuts are documented in the online program help. Start HISTmngr_v2 and select help on the menu to access this information.

There are a number of features which are poorly documented or not documented at all.

The hist.conf file isn’t documented. This is a feature which allows the control area pages to be defined.

User parameters are not documented. There ain’t much information about this anywhere.
