NEW_DATA

        [LAS\]NEW_DATA

    Waits until new data has been written to the input file,  then  makes  a
    new  index  from all new data. The type of observation can be changed by
    this command, but the index will contain only observations of one  type.
    Selection criteria defined by command SET are ignored.

    This  command  can be used to make a quick look or analysis of data pro-
    duced by a real time acquisition  system.  Caution:  only  two  programs
    should  access  the input file simultaneously, one for writing the other
    for reading.
