These programs each offer advances over previous DEC or DECUS average transients construction programs. Both are easy to use with flexible very fast (30 usec point minimum) data collection routines. AVTRCOMP allows non-simultaneous collection of up to four transients, with commands for subsequent arithmetic combination, cross-comparison, differentiation and integration. AVDEVVAR collects one transient only, but calculates the variance of each point; thus confidence limits or a. variation envelope can be placed on an average transient, allowing significance of difference assessments to be made.

These programs may be located and run from standard DIAL file, but are optimally used in conjunction with the DATAFILE library facility, in order to store collected data on LINCtape.

The LINCtape supplied contains binaries and sources of both programs, filed under DIAL; in addition a DATAFILE library system containing the two binaries occupies the low end of the tape. This area is reserved in the DIAL index.
