This is a set of  variables on a GDW which need to have their values set.

The values of which are saved on disk under a Recipe name. This Recipe file can then be run by SpecView to set the variables to those values.

 

Only variables on the instrument that are writeable (changeable by the user) can be included in Recipes.

 

Every Recipe associated with a certain GDW refers to the same set of variables which means that all the recipes associated with the GDW contain exactly the same set of variables.

 

A recipe can be composed of up to 1295 different sets of values for a given GDW.

A set of values defines the values given to each of the variables in recipe.

Two different sets of values can give two different values to the same variable in recipe.

If in one set of values you want to ignore a variable, you give it a 'N/C' (No Change) value.

 

Therefore it is appropriate to include in recipe all the variables that will be needed to be set by any set of recipe values.

 

More information is in the Recipes chapter.

 

 

Note that the Recipe tool won't work if the required object is grouped, so it is necessary to ungroup it using the UnGroup tool on the toolbar.
