Data collection request prioritiesΒΆ

The priorities attached to data collection requests are important for knowing which collections should be visible in the GUI, their order, and which exact collection is currently active.

  • 99999 - currently active

  • 0 - used by strategy protocols (characterize and ednaCol) for creating the second collection

  • 6000 - default priority of multiCol request

  • 5000 - default priority of several types of requests - raster, escan, std using centering marks, interactive or automated centering

  • -1 - completed request

The LSDC GUI tree views use priorities to color the collections. The following list shows the key for colors.

  • 99999 - green

  • > 0 (and not 999999) - white

  • < 0 - cyan

How changing priority works when using the interactive move up/down and to top/bottom buttons in the LSDC GUI.

  • use the average priority of the next two entries above - if clashes with the next one above, increase priority by 20

  • use the average priority of the next two entries below - if clashes with the next one below, decrease priority by 20

  • to move to the top, find the highest priority and add 100

  • to move to the bottom, find the lowest priority and decrease by 100
