Purpose

 

It allows to perform several checks and editing actions in a previously stored processing sequence ("Store Batch" function available in each processing panel).

 

Technical Note

 

The tasks to be executed must be previously stored, using the Store Batch button, in the relevant processing panel. Note that the input file names must include the root name and the suffix (refer to the default SARscape extensions); this has to be taken into account when a batch list is prepared with input files which are not yet available (i.e. they have to be generated during the batch list execution).

 

In addition to the "General Functions" and "Specific Function" (see below), the panel provides the following commands activated with the right mouse button clicked on the specific step:

 

-Delete, to cancel a step from the processing sequence.

-Copy, to duplicate a step in the processing sequence.

-On/Off, to select or deselect a step before the processing sequence execution.

 

It is possible to Change the processing parameters by editing the relevant fields in the right side of the panel. After editing, just push the "Enter" keyboard button to make the change effective (a message in the lower part of the panel will confirm that the parameter has been successfully modified).

 

The batch processing is based on the SARscape IDL scripting technology: an array of objects, each representing a step of the batch processing sequence, is created exploiting the 'SARscapeBatch' class. This array is saved in the default batch file.

 

Refer to the specific IDL scripting section to know more about this functionality.  

 

Note:        -it is not possible to open several batch browser at the same time

 -it is not possible to add a new batch step (store batch function) when a batch browser window is open

Input Parameter(s)

Ignore Errors and Continue Batch

If a step is not completed, due to a processing error, the batch execution proceeds with the successive step. By unsetting this flag the batch execution stops as soon as a step fails.

 

General Functions

 

Generate SARscapeBatch script        

SARscapeBatch IDL script is automatically created from a SARscape batch file.

 

Save        

The actual batch list is saved. In case the file name is different from the default batch file, this last one will be replaced.

 

Load        

The previously prepared batch list is loaded. The default input path can be modified.

 

Run        

The actual batch list is executed.

 

Help        

Specific help document section.

 

Reset        

The actual batch list is cancelled.
