Mira Project Manager

The Mira Project Manager shows all "Batch Projects" plus their commands and parameter profiles. Use this window to edit and execute batch projects. The piture below shows one project named "My new test project" opened. If more than one project has been saved, all projects will be opened in this window. Initially, many of the buttons are grayed out. This persists until you click on a project to select it.

The Mira Project Manager opens from the main toolbar using the button, which is labeled "B" for "Batch Projects".

Using the Project Manager

The buttons listed above operate the functions of the Mira Project Manager. It is important to understand several important aspects of project management:

Before clicking any button, a project line must be selected by clicking on it.
Projects that are deleted or edited exist only in the project manager window until the changes are saved.
The last saved project collection may be recovered using the [Reload All] button.
When a projected is executed, the version shown in the Mira Project Manager window is executed, even if it has not been saved.

Project execution typically terminates early if a command returns a failure status.

Special Considerations for Calibration Commands

Commands in the Calibration menu for creating master frames and express calibration execute in a separate program thread that may return a success status in some cases when they do not finish normally. In such cases, the command displays a dialog with Yes, No, and Cancel options. If you receive this dialog, choose one of the following courses of action:

Click Cancel to terminate the project execution without continuing to the next project command.
Click Yes or No to exit the current command but proceed to the next project command.
