The process program in this directory gives an example of how to run
"downstream" processing on data while it is being acquired by the
PARxCH.

The idea is that either the simp or scope programs would be running as
one task in the background or in one window creating .out data files.
Then a second program called process would be running in the
foreground or in a second window looking for a .out file and running
some processing when it appears.

In the example here, process runs a simple threshold detector, and
renames the simp.out file if it is exceeded.  You could add any other
operations you want to the process program so it performs tasks
appropriate for your application.

To run the program by hand, first start simp in the background or in
one window, saving data to the single simp.out file.  Then in the
foreground or in a second window start process with the appropriate
command line arguments.  Run process with no command line arguments
for a help screen.

When using Win95, make sure the window properties are set correctly
before running each program in its own DOS window.  You will want to
UNCHECK the "Background always suspend" item on the MISC tab of the
Win 95 properties dialog.  Unchecking this item allows the window to
continue executing even when it is in the background.

To make running the first time easy, we have set up a demo batch or
script file.  It automatically starts the windows and programs with
proper settings.  For Win95, the .pif files have the properties and
command lines for their respective windows.

The simple threshold detector demonstrated here is appropriate for
a wide variety of applications.  However, we encourage you to modify
this code as appropriate for your processing requirements.
