.2 Input Files
The program mar345 requires the following input files to work properly:
a
) $MARLOGDIR/mar345.dat
The program continuously saves edited parameters into this file. It is nice to find the progra
m
in the same state where you left it at startup. However, if mar345.dat cannot be found
,
program defaults will be used.
b
) $MARTABLEDIR/config.XXX
XXX is a 3−digit serial number. This file contains essential scanner specific information. Fo
r
the scanner to produce valid data it is essential to have this file with all entries correspondin
g
to valid parameters for the scanner. The program mar345 will use program defaults if this fi
le
is not available.
c
) $MARTABLEDIR/mar2300.XXX
XXX is a 3−digit serial number. This file contains flat−field corrections and the geometry tab
le
for transforming spiral images into Cartesian images for all scans at 0.15 mm pixelsize. Th
is
file is scanner−specific and required to do scans in 0.15 mm pixel modes. The typical size o
f
this file is 73 MB.
d
) $MARTABLEDIR/ma3450.XXX
Same as mar23000.XXX but used for all scans at 0.10 mm pixelsize. The typical size of th
is
file is 103 MB.
See Appendix A and B for more information about input files.

.3 Output Files
The program mar345 writes all relevant messages to standard output but it also produce
s
several types of log files, depending on the configuration. Since log files can be important t
o
look at in case of software or hardware problems, the program creates different versions o
f
log files named:
1.) $MARLOGDIR/log/mar.log.X (always)
2.) $MARLOGDIR/spy/mar.spy.X (configuration file entry: USE SPY)
3.) $MARLOGDIR/lp/mar.lp.X (configuration file entry: USE STATS)
where X is a number running from 1 to 99. All log files reside in the subdirectory assigend b
y
the logical variable MARLOGDIR. In this directory, there is also a file called "last.log" tha
t
contains only the version number of the latest (i.e. current) log file and a soft link of mar.lo
g
to the latest mar.log.X file in subdirectory log. Accordingly, soft links are also set to file
s
mar.spy and mar.lp if configured..Up to 99 copies of the log files will be kept and the
n
cyclically overwritten.
