Calling automatically

A protocol can be called automatically at various parts of the system. This will enable you to start off procedures, prompt for record updates, log additional information etc.

See FAQ - Automatic Procedures

You create a protocol (named as per the table below), tell the system you want it to be used (activate it).

To activate use the params.txt entry: 

    Call_Protocol = x x1 x2 x3 x4 ....

Where x x1 x2... are the protocol number(s) below.

(Can enter * to indicate all - depending on m/c spec may degrade system performance).
