MuSR Graphical User Interface: deltat  2.0
Start a Run

If a run is not already active, and if no autorun sequence is running, a run can be started from the tab Run Control.

By pressing the button Start Run a dialog box giving the possibility to modify the titles appears. The last values set for the field and the temperature are normally automatically taken over for the run titles. Note that to date the titles have the same length limitations as previously.

At the end of this dialog, the run is actually started.
At this point the status displayed by the deltat should be as follows:
