PARAMETER OLD VALUE NEW VALUE --------- ---------- --------- % *NUMBER OF TRACES to be plotted. 10 is 2 maximum allowed. FORMAT [INTEGER] NOTE: If you make a mistake entering information, you may backup to the preceding parameter or group of parameters by entering the letter 'B' after the prompt. To copy OLD VALUE to NEW VALUE, press RTN after prompt. * TRACE #1 PARAMETERS: FILE NAME CURVE.DAT SKIP 1 # OF POINTS 100 X COLUMN 1 Y COLUMN 2 XSCALE-LOG 1.0 YSCALE-LOG 1.0 FILE NAME is where X and Y data are located. FORMAT [CHARACTER] SKIP is number of lines to be skipped before data starts. FORMAT [INTEGER] # OF POINTS is the number of data points. FORMAT [INTEGER] COLUMN is the column in the file that contains the applicable data. FORMAT [INTEGER] SCALE-LOG is a scaling number that each data point is multipied by. 1.0 means no change. 0 means LOG10 scale.

A positive number (1,2,3...N) means put a symbol every Nth data point on the line. A negative number means show every Nth data point without interconnecting lines. FORMAT [INTEGER] *X AXIS LENGTH IN INCHES. Maximum 8.0 allowed here is 40.0 FORMAT [REAL] *Y AXIS LENGTH IN INCHES. Maximum 11.0 allowed here is 11.0 for wide paper or 7.0 for narrow paper. FORMAT [REAL] *X LABEL <--- 50 characters maximum. (capitals only) -----> Old value : X VALUE New value : *Y LABEL <--- 50 characters maximum. (capitals only) -----> Old value : X**2, 2(X**2) New value : ** Notes for setup file: 1. This file is read by NTRACE.EXE to control graph plotting. 2. Certain special characters trigger NTRACE. Avoid using these symbols in any other context. % separates the no-scroll heading from the start of the parameter records. * start of new parameter, columns 42:56 contain value. : when in same line as *, new values are to be found in columns 42:56 of current line and any following lines where first 6 characters are blank. < when in same line as *, new value is to be found in 3rd line down, columns 11:60. ** end of usable (to NTRACE) part of file. 3. In each parameter description, the type of value required and format used is indicated as follows: [INTEGER] INTEGER *4 (I4) [REAL] REAL *4 (E14.4) [CHARACTER] CHARACTER *20 (A20),or if < ,CHARACTER *50 (A50) 4. X AND Y Data files are read using an unformatted read into a REAL *4 array. 5. Any number of extra lines of text may be added as to this file as long as the usable (by NTRACE) portion is less than 200 lines. The order of parameters is not constrained since a character string search is used to find the parameter name.
