Gets all Windows Volumes that match the -OutDriveDenom parameter and checks if free space is greater than 107 GB (amount currently used by final chia plots). It wraps all the needed information of the volume like DriveLetter, ChiaDriveType, VolumeName, a bool IsPlootable, and the calculated amount of plots to hold into a object and returns the collection of objects as the result of that function.

Gets all Windows Volumes that match the -TempDriveDenom parameter and checks if free space is greater than 270 GB (amount currently used by chia plots as temp storage). It wraps all the needed information of the volume like DriveLetter, ChiaDriveType, VolumeName, a bool IsPlootable, and the calculated amount of plots to temp, whether it has a plot in porgress (determined by checking if the drive contains any file) into a object and returns the collection of objects as the result of that function.

## Invoke-PlotoJob
Calls Get-PlotoTempDrives to get all Temp drives that are plottable. For each tempDrive it determines the most appropriate OutDrive (using Get-PlotoOutDrives function), stitches together the ArgumentList for chia and fires off the chia plot job using chia.exe. For each created PlotJob the function creates an Object and appends it to a collection of objects, which are returned upon the function call.
#### Example:
```powershell
Invoke-PlotoJob -BufferSize 3390 -Thread 2 -OutDriveDenom "out" -TempDriveDenom "plot" -WaitTimeBetweenPlotOnSeparateDisks 0.1 -WaitTimeBetweenPlotOnSameDisk 0.1 -MaxParallelJobsOnAllDisks 2 -MaxParallelJobsOnSameDisk 1 -EnableBitfield $true -Verbose

StartTime : 4/29/2021 1:55:50 PM
Main function that nests all else. Continously calls Invoke-PlotoJob and states progress and other information. It runs until it created the amount of specified Plot by using the -InputAmountToSpawn param.

Allows you to check status of your current plot jobs aswell as stopping them and cleaning the temp drives.
Analyzes the plotter logs (standard chia.exe output redirected, enriched with additional data) and shows the status, pid and drives in use. The function only pick up data of plot logs that have been spawned using PlotoSpawner (as it deploys initial data like PID of process and drives use). The additional logs are stored in the same location as the standrad logs. If you delete those, this function wont be able to read certain properties anymore.
