FLUSH_BUFFER

This command is for the ED-EXP module.

This command is only used in the *.POP file (i.e. it can also be used in the experimental data files). It is needed if the number of experiments require more space than can be fitted into one buffer.

In the DICTRA module, you work with a .DOP file instead of a .POP file.

When the PARROT program compiles experiments, it informs if any FLUSH commands are needed. FLUSH_BUFFER terminates the current block, saves it to the work file and starts a new block. With the READ command in the EDIT-EXP module, you can select the block to edit.

Syntax

FLUSH_BUFFER

 

After a FLUSH_BUFFER command, the workspace is reinitiated and all functions or constants must be entered again in the *.POP file. You can take advantage of this; for example, you can use the FLUSH command to have blocks with different components in one *.POP file.
