dish.fileout - Function

Sets the scan group that can be written to.

Synopsis
fileout(sgname)

Description
This specifies a scan group to which spectra may be saved. If the scan group doesn't already exist in the results manager, fileout will create it. If the file doesn't exist in the results manager but is on disk, the user can load it with the appropriate permissions for writing as:

d.open(filename,access="w")

If the user wants to create a new blank scan group for subsequent storage, specify: d.fileout(filename) where filename is a unique disk file name.

Returns
T (if successful)
