- Option Trees:
- Option trees are the mechanism by which users can add functionality without creating
conflicts with other users who have added functionality.
- An option tree is a directory that contains a set of semi-standard subdirectories
that is recognized by the Midas framework.
- Types of Option Trees:
- The SYS Option Tree
- This is a special option tree since it is the core of the NeXtMidas framework. The
SYS option tree contains the NeXtMidas shell and all of the primary functionality
required to run a macro.
- The SYS option tree must be enabled at all times.
- Factory-Supported
- These option trees are supported by the NeXtMidas development team.
- Some of these are bundled with each release of NeXtMidas (e.g. DSP), while
others may require a separate download (e.g. MAP).
- Other
- All other option trees.
- This category is some times called "Locally-Developed," but the name is misleading
since many are not developed locally.
