Installing Macro Definition Files
The AskPlus macro file is built by running the load_macros script. When the script is executed the compiled macro file is built in the current directory. The compiled macro file is created from the following definition files:
- /ASKPLUS/visimage/macrodef
- /ASKPLUS/visimage/usermdef
- ./usermdef
- ./vsmacdef
- Installing a new macrodef file:
- 1. Download the latest macrodef file from the website.
- 2. Login as the askplus user.
- 3. Transfer the downloaded file (ASCII) to /ASKPLUS/visimage:
mv macrodef macrodef.save.cymd # Where cymd is today's date. cp macrodef.samp macrodef # Note the file you uploaded may have a different name.
- 4. Rebuild (compile) the macro file as follows:
chmod 644 macrodef << This step is VERY important for Vital Signs users! >> cd /ASKPLUS/visimage /ASKPLUS/load_macros
- 5. Verify that the macro file permissions are correct:
ll macro The file must be writeable by all users, at least 666.
