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.
