Description
CycDesigN is a package for the computer generation of experimental designs, which constructs optimal or near-optimal block and row-column designs; see the book Cyclic and Computer Generated Designs by John & Williams (1995). CycDesigN can also operate as a batch program, that can be called from within Genstat. This program is distributed with Genstat, and there are procedures to call the program, read its output back into Genstat, and form the relevant design factors. However, to use CycDesigN (and the procedures) you need a license; see vsni.co.uk/software/cycdesign for details.
To provide more convenient access, menus for block designs, row-and-column designs and p-rep designs can be installed in the User menu on the Genstat menu bar. The files to define the menus are distributed with Genstat, and can be found in the CDNmenus folder in the system AddIns folder. To activate the menus, the files need to be copied into either the system AddIns folder or to your own user AddIns folder. As you may not have the administrator rights necessary to copy into the system AddIns folder, it is best to copy into the user AddIns folder, and this procedure can do that for you.
The METHOD option controls whether the menus are installed or whether they are removed (for example, because you no longer want to use them). In a batch run, the default is to install them. In an interactive run, Genstat will pop up a dialog to ask what you want to do.
Options: Method
Parameters: None
Method
The commands to copy or delete the files are executed by the SUSPEND directive.
