Current Page: NeXtMidas Training Macros - Part 1 (Basics) Pipes in a Macro Data Pipes Features
| Features of Pipes: Pipes can be "tuned" to maximize performance. Can adjust pipe properties including transfer length (`/TL=`). NeXtMidas pipes support "warm starts." Significant changes to the pipe structure can be made without restarting the macro. Primitives "down the line" automatically adjust to the changes in the pipe. NeXtMidas pipes are automatically created and destroyed. Unlike X-Midas there is no need to predefine the number of pipes (X-Midas uses `/NP=` to set the maximum number of pipes).
X-Midas Users Take Note:
X-Midas pipes require tuning to make them work correctly. NeXtMidas pipes usually work "out of the box" and use tuning to improve performance.
