Call definition

Random variable definition dialog is presented below. Steps to define external call:

  • Select executable (or script) file name
  • Enter call command together with options or filenames
  • Specify input files from which the application reads data
  • Specify outputs files to which the application saves data
Output and input files list are very important because this way Numpress Explore determines dependence between input, output variables and functions. External variables tagged in output file are dependent on input variables tagged in input file if the files has common call. It is possible also a more complex relationship in the form of a chain of calls. Output files od one aplication are input files of another etc.
