XLPLOT help file %2
|

.skip 1
|
|
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.
|
|
.hl1 INPUT FILENAME
|
|
This is the file produced by XLATE/WATANL.
|
|
.hl1 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.
|
|
.hl2 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.
|
|
.hl1 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.
|
|
.hl1 USE ALL INPUT FILE DATA?
|
|
This question reads in full:
|
|
.skip 1
|
|
.lit
|
|
USE ALL INPUT FILE DATA,
|
|
OR SELECT X-AXIS LIMITS
|
|
(ALL or SELECT)?
|
|
.END LIT
|
|
.skip 1
|
|
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
|
|
.SKIP 1
|
|
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:
|
|
.skip 1
|
|
.list 0
|
|
.le;Carriage return: Go on to the next plot.
|
|
.le; "LL": Do the plot again, but to device PLT:, then wait again for another
|
|
input from the terminal.
|
|
.LE;"E": Exit from XLPLOT after closing any output files (including the
|
|
PLT: device if it has been opened).
|
|
.le;"A": Abort the XLPLOT processing, and do not close any output files.
|
|
.le;Anything else: Do the plot again, but to device PLT:, then go onto the next
|
|
plot.
|
|
.end list
|
|
The device PLT: will be closed when the program terminates.
