The Runs Definition entry

The Runs Definition entry is used to store information regarding data collection that will apply to all defined runs. There can only be one one Runs Definition in a database.dat file.

An entry for a Runs definition should be in the following generic format:

Line 1:runs
Line 2:9
Line 3:runCount currentRun isActive doseMode

• The runCount parameter indicates how many of the run definitions are valid. For example, a value of 4 would indicate that run0, run1, run2, and run3 device entries are valid. All other run definitions are not valid.

• The currentRun parameter is no longer used.

• The isActive parameter is no longer used.

• The doseMode is a Boolean value indicating whether or not to use a dose corrected exposure time per frame during data collection (0=no dose mode, 1=dose mode).

Here is an example runs entry indicating that two runs are defined and dose mode is disabled:
