I've been asked to add a few bells and whistles to my old FZR Rossendorf project. Most of it is no real problem, but one thing that I thought would be pretty straightforward is turning out not to be as easy as I thought it would be.
They want to log which user has run each experiment and associate it with a specific project as well as storing all the associated experimental set-up details (which modules, what voltage, energy, etc.).
Using ProTool's built in archiving facililty, most of the technical detail of the experiment is no problem, what I haven't yet fathomed out is how to handle the project and user names. ProTool has a function to store the user name but, unfortunately, it appears that you can't archive Strings!
Does anybody know if there's an easy way round this problem or am I finally going to have to get round to learning Visual Basic - fast, by the end of the week, to be precise!
