Updating the software

If you have a valid update license, you can download and install the latest version of Baby SliceO from the Web.

To upgrade the software, simply install the latest version over your old version.

Starting the Program

You can find all the installed Baby SliceO programs on the Windows Start menu under Program / Tomovision. You can also start the program by selecting image files with the mouse, drag them to the program icon and drop them there, or you can start the program without arguments, simply by clicking on its icon. By default the program resides in C:\Program Files\TomoVision.

When Baby SliceO starts, it first parses its command line arguments for special instructions, then it look in its “.ini” files for its default parameters.

Baby SliceO can accept the following command line arguments:

Baby SliceO [-d path] [-p name] [-t level] [-v] [-z] [-x pos dim] [-y pos dim]

General operation arguments (shared by all TomoVision’s programs)

	-t level	Trace level (0 <= level <= 5)
	-v	Display the program’s version and creation date
	-x pos dim	Horizontal position and dimension of the program’s window (in pixels)
	-y pos dim	Vertical position and dimension of the program’s window (in pixels)

Baby SliceO specific arguments

	-d path	Starting directory. All File Open and Save dialogs will be rooted in this directory. (By default: path = the current directory)
	-p name	Pipe name. The program communicates with other programs through this file. If you wish to open more than 1 instance of the program, you have to specify a different pipe for each instance. (By default: C:\temp\sliceO_5.dat).

Note:

If you want to start more than 1 instance of Baby SliceO at the same time, you will need to assign a different pipe to each instance of Baby SliceO.

Program Crash

In the event of a program crash there will be an error log file called TomoVision.err in the Scratch Directory ("C:\Temp" by default). Baby SliceO also saves a list of all the images opened during your last session in “sliceO_5.dat” in the Scratch Directory. Upon startup, Baby SliceO will ask you if you want to automatically attempt to reload all these files.
