NEW_DATA

 

        [LAS\]NEW_DATA

    Waits until new data has been written to the input file,  then  makes  a
    new  index  from all new data. The type of observation can be changed by
    this command, but the index will contain only observations of one  type.
    Selection criteria defined by command SET are ignored.

    This command can be used to make  a  quick  look  or  analysis  of  data
    produced  by  a real time acquisition system. Caution: only two programs
    should access the input file simultaneously, one for writing  the  other
    for reading.
