XLPLOT help file %2
|
||
|
||
|
||
XLPLOT is a program to plot on TTY or LPT the files produced by
|
||
XLATE (which contain the system performance information collected on
|
||
TOPS-10 by the TRACK program),or WATANL (which contain the system
|
||
performance information collected on TOPS-20 by the WATCH program). The
|
||
input file produced by XLATE/WATANL contains most of the information
|
||
needed by XLPLOT, which keeps the XLPLOT dialog rather simple.
|
||
|
||
Like XLATE/WATANL, XLPLOT uses FORTRAN's DIALOG mode of input for
|
||
file specifications; these specifications should be terminated with an
|
||
altmode or escape.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
1.0 INPUT FILENAME
|
||
|
||
This is the file produced by XLATE/WATANL.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
2.0 OUTPUT TO TTY (Y OR N)?
|
||
|
||
If the output is to go to a file on disk, type N, otherwise type Y.
|
||
See description below of options when outputting to a TTY.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
2.1 OUTPUT FILENAME
|
||
|
||
If "N" was typed to the above question, then XLPLOT will ask for
|
||
the name of the output file. This will be a FORTRAN formatted output
|
||
file. If the extension is not .DAT, the the /FILE:FORTRAN switch must
|
||
be used when it is printed via GALAXY, or the /P switch used in a COPY
|
||
command.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
3.0 WHAT PLOTS TO GRAPH (ALL OR NAME)?
|
||
|
||
This gives you the capability of graphing specific plots, or doing
|
||
all at once (the later is useful when going to a disk file). If ALL is
|
||
given, then XLPLOT goes through all of the information TRACK collected.
|
||
If you type the specific 4-character abbreviation of a plot, only it's
|
||
data is graphed. The 4-character abbreviations are specified by track,
|
||
and are in the NAMES.TRK file used by XLATE/WATANL.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
4.0 USE ALL INPUT FILE DATA?
|
||
|
||
This question reads in full:
|
||
|
||
USE ALL INPUT FILE DATA,
|
||
OR SELECT X-AXIS LIMITS
|
||
(ALL or SELECT)?
|
||
|
||
This provides the capability of graphing only portions of a day (the
|
||
x-axis values are the time of day, with the minutes represented as
|
||
decimal portions of an hour). Typing SELECT will cause XLPLOT to prompt
|
||
for the minimum and maximum times to use.
|
||
TTY OUTPUT OPTIONS
|
||
|
||
|
||
When the output is to a TTY (as specified in the dialog described
|
||
above), XLPLOT will pause for input after each plot is displayed. The
|
||
terminal should be set for a width of 132, and the automatic pausing at
|
||
the end of each page should be disabled.
|
||
|
||
The possible inputs when XLPLOT has paused after displaying a plot
|
||
are:
|
||
|
||
1. Carriage return: Go on to the next plot.
|
||
2.
|
||
|
||
"LL": Do the plot again, but to device PLT:, then wait
|
||
again for another input from the terminal.
|
||
3. "E": Exit from XLPLOT after closing any output files
|
||
(including the PLT: device if it has been opened).
|
||
4. "A": Abort the XLPLOT processing, and do not close any output
|
||
files.
|
||
5. Anything else: Do the plot again, but to device PLT:, then go
|
||
onto the next plot.
|
||
|
||
The device PLT: will be closed when the program terminates.
