General Rules
General Rules
- Each line in the input file defines one data extraction or plot request
- Long lines can be split into shorter ones using a continuation character "\" at the end of each line
- Space characters are used to divide the line into 'words'
- The input script is NOT case-sensitive.
- Unless detailed elsewhere in this manual, the first few (usually three) characters of the first word on the line discriminate the request of a particular entity, and the syntax which applies to reading in the remaining words on the line
- If the first word on the line is not recognised, the program ignores it - it is treated as a comment
- The last words on the data extraction request lines allow options for filtering, Y-axis scaling, HIC, average and a short reference tag (The tags may be used for operation and plotting requests)
- The last words on the plotting request line allow options for title, line style and axis changes
- A successful data extraction always has a curve outputted, if there is no output (e.g. HIC, ERR) then a duplicate curve is outputted. This helps with tagging output curves
