MAESTRO-32® V6 (A65-B32)
7.1.3. Command Line Interface
The WINPLOTS Command Line Interface will support options available in the interactive mode
as shown below:
WINPLT32<spectrum> -R <roi_file> -S <set_file> -P
where:
<spectrum>
Specifies the spectral data file (.SPC, .An1, or .CHN). The extension
must be included.
-R <roi_file>
Specifies the .ROI file. The extension must be included.
-S <set_file>
Specifies the settings file. The extension must be included.
-P
Causes the program to print the plot and exit automatically. Used mainly
in .JOB files or the Export function.
7.2. Nuclide Library Editor
MAESTRO V6 now uses the GammaVision Library Editor to create and edit library files, which
are used in the peak search and report functions for the quantitative identification of and activity
calculations for spectral components according to calibrated peak energy.
The new library editor allows you to work with both the MAESTRO/GammaVision .LIB format
and with .MDB-format libraries created by ORTEC’s NuclideNavigator products. (The old
MAESTRO library format [.MCA] is no longer supported.) The library files are organized by
nuclide, then by the nuclide’s peaks. Library data include the nuclide name, half-life, and halflife uncertainty. Nuclide names can be any combination of eight characters, but must be
consistent throughout all files. The library peak data include the energies and branching ratio or
gammas/disintegration for each energy. The default file extension is .LIB.
At startup, MAESTRO automatically attempts to load the library last loaded. Thereafter, this
working library can be replaced at any time with Library/Select File.... The library stays
resident in memory after it has been loaded.
In the analysis report, the nuclides are listed in the order they are in the library. The size of a
working library is limited to 65,000 bytes for any combination of nuclides and peaks (e.g., about
100 nuclides with 1900 peaks or 200 nuclides with 1600 peaks). Master or reference libraries
(e.g., MASTER.LIB from A53-BI or MASTER.MDB from NuclideNavigator), from which the
working libraries are built, can be any size.
