Dear Graeme, hello List, I just started with an extensive series of tests wit various light sources.I planed to monitor and log the spectral stability over time with an eye-one and spotread (on MacOS), but encountered unexpected problems.
I launched"spotread -v -e -s -x -H -T logfile.txt" in a new terminal window, made the calibration manually and then launced an AppleScript application with an idle handler like this:
on idle tell application "Terminal" activate do script "n" in window id 938 -- my spotread window do script "date" in window id 1078 -- another window end tell return 15 end idlei.e. the handler sends "n" to the window where spotread is running and "date" to log date and time in a second window every 15 seconds.
Unfortunately spotread always repeats the result of the last manually initiated measurement instead of issuing a new measurement.
Any ideas? Alternative ways to go? Thank you, Klaus
