Problem Topic
SNSET: Allow mult. simul. sens. algs?

Problem Description
Are multiple simultaneous sensor algorithms, video filters, lighting, windows, and scaling values supported for SNSET/? In other words, is SNSET/VA(alg1),VA(alg2),VA(alg3) valid, or is only one algorithm per sensor supported? If multiple, does a SNSET/ statement override or add to the current settings? If add, then how do values get removed?

Resolution

Warning!!

The following statement is only a resolution to a Standard Improvement Request (SIR) and is NOT part of the current DMIS standard, nor is it guaranteed to become part of the next revision of the DMIS standard even if voted and accepted by the DMIS National Standards Committee. This resolution is tentative because it may not be incorporated into the next version of the standard, it could be changed prior to the next release, or it could be changed as the result of the "public review and comment" period required for the next version of the standard. If you choose to use this tentative resolution, you do so at your own risk since at this time it is not part of the DMIS standard.

Resolved per 8/98 DNSC Meeting Oak Ridge, TN.
Responded to questions.
(1) YES, except for scaling values and focus values.
(2) YES, overrides. Also refer to the resolution of 97-29

Notes

Added by Mike Holloway, hkm@ornl.gov on 7/30/1998

See also Ann Arbor meeting notes on 9/97.

I believe that all of the SNSET minor words were meant to be used only once in a SNSET statement. Another SNSET statement containing a new value for a minor word would cause the new value, algorithm, etc. to take effect instead of the old (ie. not additive). Also, the SNSET does not apply to a specific sensor, but to all sensors used after its issue.
