This document describes the ASTERIX source searching and parameterisation programs, PSS and EVPSS, and the auxiliary programs to make use of their output.
After an overview of the ASTERIX source searching system, tutorials for both PSS and EVPSS are followed by reference sections where the methods used by each program are presented in depth. Section 6 describes the various ASTERIX programs which use the output of PSS and EVPSS directly, and Section 7 a selection of common processing techniques with examples. Details of numerical algorithms can be found in the Appendices.
The programs documented in this manual are all ASTERIX applications and as such can be run from both DCL and ICL. They are also fully described in the ASTERIX on-line help system, which can be accessed using,
> ASTHELP <application_name>
USER_004 comes with a number of figures -- a command procedure to generate the figures can be created using the following DCL command,
$ @AST_DOCS:USER_004_FIGS Are you using a Postscript Laser printer (Y/N) /N/ Printer queue name /SYS_LASER/ > Command file written to FIGS.COM $ @FIGS Drawing Figure 1... ... Drawing Figure 3...It is worth checking that the settings for the
PRINT command within this procedure are correct for your
site before executing it.
The remainder of this manual assumes familiarity with the ADAM parameter system, a full description of which can be found in SG/4.
