Report Header Parameters

[[To...]]

Other than a template program, is there a way to preserve a select group of report header parameters for new measurement plans?

2nd question: I know if I customize a standard protocol template and save it over the original template in the Default templates folder, that it will be used on any new program. (Similar to saving a custom presentation template in the Default folder on pre-PiWeb systems). Again, other than selecting it in a template program, is there a proper way to have the customized template become the default template?

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Zeiss\CALYPSO\data\protocol header

use the Save button and rename the file. They are stored in the file path above.

Ok. I saved it but it did not load automatically in new program. Is it still a manual open and load?

I have to manual load that file every time I write a new program; However, I haven't tested it on a template. I'll do some testing and see what I can come up with.

Thanks Chad. If I create a template, I don't have to save the parameter file.

Is there a way to apply this file to old programs, I have several hundred programs that need to be updated to our new header.

Another option would be to use PCM Start files to define and set reports in a more global manor vs on an individual program to program basis. For example - CALYPSO: PCM - How to Make a Script work for many Plans. 

If you pair this with "PCM functions: Report commands" in section 1-134 of the attached PCM Manual Calypso_02_pcm.pdf you can get a very similar end result to what you are looking for.
