Hi,
I am trying to set up my default program template to allow for looping of my auto alignments (i.e. operator specifies # of times that they wish auto alignment procedure to run through).
The operator specifies a number (1-4) and I assign that to a max iteration variable max_iter. I then initialize the current iteration iter at 1 along with a dummy variable j. Right before the DCC alignment I set a label called STARTALN. After the alignments are finished I enter a while loop stating that if the current iteration is less than the max iteration, return to the label and increase the value of the current iteration.
The problem that I am having is that the first auto alignment will continue to recall the previous manual alignment in this loop and the alignment names will all stay the same. My question is whether or not the following code is valid by using variables in the feature/alignment names. I have not added the logic to the alignment recall sections but I will get around to doing that if this is a practical method of looping the DCC alignment process. I will post a section of the code.
Thank you in advance.
