How to open protocols in POET XA60 that fail consistency check

This is what you can do when you cannot open a stored protocol (.pro) files in POET in XA60.

Published on

It has happened that I could not open .pro protocols in POET on XA60. I was able to simulate, but POET would not open the stored protocol.

You can try the following workaround:

  • Open your sequence as usual in POET and save it File > Save Protocol. i.e. as `newprot.pro`. Close POET.

  • In IDEA shell create empty token file :

    copy nul empty.tok
  • In IDEA shell run following mephisto command

    mephisto -o COIL_newprot.pro newprot.pro empty.tok

This should create a protocol and take care for selecting the correct coils. Now you should be able to open the protocol with POET again, i.e.

poet COIL_newprot.pro
