HowTo: Start a 3D evaulation from the terminal

Warning: Do not change uct_evaulation_v4.com and ipl_fixed_batch_v4.com in .eval, but only work on your own file (i.e., eval_steve). First, an explanation of how the normal evaluation runs by hitting the 'Start 3d' button.

$ scanco_submit_command ue:uct_evaluation_v4.com/para=(xxx,yyy,zzz,…)

There are 8 parameters:

• P1: number of print outs of our results sheet
• P2: the ISQ filename
• P3-5: start x (pos x), y, z
• P6-8: dim x, y, z

The parameters p3-p8 come from the white bounding box. The problem is that when you start from the terminal you do not have these. This problem can be overcome by using the isq_to_aim_gobjbox.exe and then give the relevant parameters. You can $ run um: isq_to_aim_gobjbox.exe to see what it's asking for. By using gobjbox you do not need p3-p8. Therefore you can start the evaluation by giving: $ scanco_submit_command ue:uct_evaluation_special_josh.com –/para=(1,dk0:[microct.data.0000275.0000245]c0000332.ISQ) Note that you can make uct_evaluation_special_josh.com such that there is no need for P1 (change p2 to p1 in the script, etc). [Alternatively to using the gobjbox you could use the normal isq_to_aim, but hard code the dim and pos.] Then call whatever IPL files you want to call. Look into fixed_batch_v4 to see how we turn on the database always on the first line of every IPL part, and how we calculate parameters.
