Global controls

These are at the bottom right of the PCOT main window, and currently consist of:

• Caption: select how different bands are labelled in the dropdown:
  • Filter names - bands will be labelled by the name of the filter, e.g. "C01L" for the 640nm left-hand red broadband colour filter.
  • Filter positions - the filter's position will be used, e.g. "L07" will be used for the C01L band, because it is the filter in position 7 on the left WAC.
  • Wavelengths labels bands according to their centre wavelength, so the same band will be labelled "640" under this scheme.
• Autorun on change will cause each node to automatically perform its action when it is changed (either an input has changed or one of the controls in its tab). This will also cause all nodes "downstream" of it in the graph to change. It is sometimes useful to turn this off when changing a node will trigger a very slow action.
• Run all will cause all root nodes (nodes without inputs) in the graph to run, thus causing all their downstream nodes to run. Effectively, it runs all the nodes in the graph in the correct order.
