[Orca-users] Re: writing data to my input file to orca if no new data is found

[Blair Zajac]

I don't think this will be too easy.  When Orca doesn't find
any data, it won't plot any data, so maybe you could always
plot 1 when the system is up.  Will this work?

For example, look at the image at

It clearly shows when no data was being collected.
