Flexcom issues a warning in the summary output file if the maximum or minimum of a particular parameter is more than two standard deviations from the mean value. The warning consists of a ‘*’ character beside the parameter in the summary output table, together with a legend indicating the significance of the character. An example is given in Summary Output File. This facility is intended to alert users to the possibility that a maximum or minimum value in the summary output is perhaps a numerical “spike” rather than a genuine extremum. To confirm whether or not this is the case, you would look at the timetrace of the response, presuming one was generated. Flexcom generates warnings by default, but you can invoke an option to suppress this.
You may also specify whether or not the results database is to be deleted when the summary output postprocessing is completed. By default results databases are not deleted. This option might be useful when a large number of analyses is being performed. The results database could automatically be used to generate the summary output file for each analysis and each database could then be deleted, freeing disk space for subsequent analyses.
•*OPTIONS is used to select a number of options relating to summary postprocessing.
