/SESSION=

n

Isis runs and identifies this particular session of the
Isis program with the number n (n being a single-
digit integer you specify) in the program’s Title Bar.
For example, you could start one session of Isis
with the command line ISIS.EXE /SESSION=1
and another with the command line ISIS.EXE
/SESSION=2

. The command string is case

insensitive. The Title Bar of each Isis session will
then indicate session 1 or 2. For example, suppose
you wanted to start Isis and play back the file
LINE1.XTF:
D:\>ISIS.EXE /SESSION=1 D:\LINE1.XTF

Later, you can direct that same Isis session to play
back a different file, say LINE2.XTF, via the
following command:
D:\>ISIS.EXE /SESSION=2 D:\LINE2.XTF
Without the /SESSION switch, a new instance of
Isis would be launched rather than using the
existing session.

{filename}

.XTF

{filename}

.DAT

{filename}

.SEG

{filename}

.RUN

Specifying a specific filename with any of these
three file extensions from a DOS box or from a
shortcut runs Isis and plays back the named file.
Example: ISIS LINE1.XTF. The type of file called
{filename}

.RUN is an Isis batch file. (For batch file

methods, see ‘Playing Back a Series of Data
Sets’

.)


For optimum Isis performance, do not run more
than one Record mode session at a time.
