Set parameter values on the command line
pset toolname [ [ param1[=vaue1] param2 ...] | [value1] ... ]
pset is used to set parameters. The parameters can be
specified on the command line in the order they appear in the
parameter file or by using the parameter=value pair. If no parameters
or values are specified, the tool will prompt for all the parameter
(hidden and queried) in the specified parameter file.
In addition to setting parameter values, one can also change
the behavior of the tool by setting the parameter attributes.
The available attributes are listed below, and they are set using
the name parameter.attribute (as shown in example 4 below).
Parameter Attributes
|
p_value
|
Changes the parameter value. Same
as if no ".attribute" is specified
|
|
p_min
|
Reset the parameter minimum allowed value
|
|
p_max
|
Reset the parameter maximum allowed value
|
|
p_prompt
|
Change the parameter prompt
|
Resetting the min and max values of a parameter file should be
done with EXTREME caution. Changing the mode of the parameter may
cause unexpected results -- specifically, changing hidden parameters to
automatic/querried will change the command line behavior if the
parameter=value syntax is not used. The parameter prompt is safe to
change to suit the user's tastes.
This will prompt the user for all the parameter in the
dmlist.par file.
This will set the first non-hidden parameter in the dmlist.par
file, which happens to be "infile", to be set to "my_file".
(3) pset /tmp/dmlist.par infile=my_file outfile=""
This sets the infile parameter in /tmp/dmlist.par to be
"my_file" and sets the outfile parameter to be blank.
(4) pset dmlist infile.p_prompt="Your most excellent Chandra
observation file"
This replaces the prompt of the infile parameter of dmlist
with the specified string. Whenever this parameter is prompted for
again, it will display the message above.
Name of the parameter
Name of the parameter (optionally with path) to the parameter
file.
