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:
- Download the latest macrodef file from the website.
- Login as the askplus user.
- Make a backup copy of the existing macrodef file.
- Transfer the macrodef file (ASCII) to /ASKPLUS/visimage.
- 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
- Verify that the macro file permissions are correct:
ll macro The file must be writeable by all users, at least 666.
