-slot option (command line interface)

[sbonnefo]

Hi Marc,

I do not understand the SLOT option in command line interface.

What is the meaning of the slot number in the the following commands:
1) geopsy -db databasename -tool geopsyhv -slot 1 -group groupname
2) geopsy -db databasename -tool geopsyarray -slot 0 -group groupname

In fact I would like to compute High Resolution FK analysis (capon), which value of slot should I select?

Thanks,
Sylvette

Option -h without argument just gives you general information.

Code: Select all

Generic options:
  -help <SECTION>           Show help about options. SECTION may be empty or:
                            all, examples, fk, generic, geopsy, hrfk, hv,
                            hvrotate, hvtfa, linearfkactive, linearfkpassive,
                            mspac, qt, spectrum, spectrum, structure

You can get specific help on various topics by adding an argument to option -h.

Code: Select all

$ geopsy -h fk
FK (tag=geopsyarray, slot=0) options:
  -param <FILE.log>         Set processing parameters as specified in FILE.log
  -export-grids             Export all FK grids for all frequency bands and time
                            windows to files fkgrid_fxxx_twxxx (be careful, need
                            a lot of disk space)
$ geopsy -h hrfk
High resolution FK (tag=geopsyarray, slot=1) options:
  -param <FILE.log>         Set processing parameters as specified in FILE.log

In fact, a tool plugin may contain more than one slot (for geopsyarray: fk, hrfk, linearfkactive, linearfkpassive) that correspond each to an icon in the toolbar (or menu "tools").

To start geopsy for high resolution FK:

Code: Select all

geopsy -db /home/mwathele/M2/database.gpy -tool geopsyarray -slot 1 -group "333 sources/Central station" -param param.log

param.log must contain a section with parameters as saved by the high resolution toolbox (after pressing 'Start').[/code]
