- Project Builder
Some users like to program ahead in Prospector creating a number of programs in several different projects. Once they finish their programming, they’d like to have a ‘master build’ feature that would automatically cycle through the projects and build all the programs in each project. That’s what Project Builder does. Simply choose the projects you want to build then click ‘Build’ and it will start a session of Prospector to build every project you chose. This lets you program several jobs in a day, then call up Project Builder and let it do the busy work of building every project overnight. - Project Put
Ever have your disk fill up because you forgot to do a Project/Put to archive projects when you are done? It can be a time consuming process to load each project then do a Project/Put to store it to clean up your local jobs directory. The Project Put program can make this much easier for you. Simply choose all the projects you want to do a Project/Put on and click ‘OK’. The program will cycle through all the projects you chose and do a Project/Put.
Utilities can be downloaded from the Prospector Support Download page.
