Use Pyrodist With Another Lookup Table

We use the Pyrodist tool from AmpliconNoise, but we need to use this with another lookup table. There is some disagreement in the team on how to best approach this. Whereas some believe it has to be hardcoded by adapting the source, I am rather sure there is a way of specifying which lookup table has to be used (apart from overwriting the original LookUp_E 123.dat file off course).

Currently I do this by resetting the environmental variable $PYROLOOKUPFILE to the one I want to use. I wondered though if there was a simple option to do this. I couldn't find it in the manual, but I might have missed something.

You can direct PyroDist to the lookup table by using the -rin flag followed by the PYRO_LOOKUP_FILE location.

enjoy!

@Mabeuf : Thx for the answer. Somehow the notification didn't really work, so I only found it now. Cheers
