<H1>FOCUS Data Storage</H1>
<P>
FOCUS writes data into portable binary NeXus files. The scheme implemented
involves opening a new file for any run and updating this file at
predefined intervalls during counting operations. All this is commonly
handled automatically by the <a href="count.htm">count</a>
command. However, data file writing can be initiated and configured
manually from the command line through the following commands:
<dl>
<DT>storefocus start
<DD>Write a new data file
<DT>storefocus update
<DD>Updates the current data file.
<DT>storefocus intervall
<DD>prints the current update intervall to use during counting. Units
is minutes.
<DT>storefocus intervall newval
<DD>Sets the update intervall to newval minutes.
<DT>killfile
<DD>This command will overwrite the last data file written and thus
effectively erase it. Therefore this command requires manager privilege.
