Malpus, Ph.D., University of Leeds, Department of Physioiogy, Leeds, United Kingdom DATAFILE is a LINCtape-based display-interactive library designed primarily as a transparent system by which data from user programs can easily be stored, edited and retrieved. The only addition needed to any user pragram to add filing capabilities is a short loader routine, and only one memory location is modified when the program is restarted.
Binary programs can also be stored and DATAFILE can be used as a free-standing library. system, started from the console and capable of loading and starting the binary programs filed within it.
DATAFILE thus takes over the binary library and loading facilities of DIAL, and can additionally be called from (and exit to) user programs to file resultant data. Because of its compactness and its increased file and index space it is much more efficient, as well as easier to use, than DIAL for debugged, operational programs.
DFUPDATE is the means by which new binary programs are added to a DATAFILE program library. Programs are transferred from the DIAL binary working area on a LINCtape to a DATAFILE file on the same or another LINCtape, and the index updated accordingly. Once filed by DFUPDATE, such programs can be loaded and started by DATAFILE. Minimum Hardware: VR 12/14, TC12, TU55 or TU56, TTY, AD12 Restrictions: DECtape Handlers only.

INDEX will perform a directory search on a device file specified at the keyboard by the user in a standard PS/8 command line.
RDHAN allows reference for reading last device handler specified in a call to INDEX.
NAMUD allows file name specified in INDEX to be incremented by octal one forming a new file name. Then the device directory is searched for the new file name. Minimum Hardware: PDP-12A, TTY, Tapes, Disk Other Programs Needed: PS/8 monitor Restrictions: All subroutines must occupy same LINC segment Source Language: SABR DECUS NO. 12-113 IDXWT Harry Bryant, Moss Rehabilitation Hospital, Krusen Research Center, Philadelphia, Rennsylvania IDXWT is a group of FORTRAN callable subroutines needed for writing unformatted data files on a PS/8 device. The subroutines are FOPEN, FCLOSE, WITHAN and NAMUP.
FOPEN performs a file search and opens a tentative file on a PS/8 device. WITHAN allows the user to write unformatted files on the PS/8 device loaded when FOPEN was called.
FCLOSE closes the tentative file opened in FOPEN.
NAMUP allows the file names specified in FOPEN to be incremented by octal one forming a new file name. A tentative file is then opened using the new file name.

Hyde, Jamesville-DeWitt Central Schools, DeWitt, New York TAPEDIT provides a quick and efficient means of inspection and modification of data contained on LINCtape. It is an improvement over previous 4K tape editors in that its principal output device is the VC12 scope. Output may also be directed to the console teletype. Data may be interpreted as octal values, DIAL sixbit characters, or PDP-10 sixbit characters. Word search and data move functions are also provided. TAPEDIT will operate properly with tapes up to 4096 blocks long and with blocks containing up to 512 data words. Minimum Hardware: PDP-12A or 12/20 (Scope, LINCtape and A/D channels) Source Language: LAP6-DIAL V2 DECUS NO. 12-118 Average Transient Advanced Programs C. M. Malpus, Ph.D., Department of Physiology, University of Leeds, Leeds, United Kingdom 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. Minimum Hardware: PDP-12, KW12, VR12, AD12, TTY Storage Requirement: 4K for AVTRCOMP, 8K for AVDEVVAR Source Language: DIAL DECUS NO. 12-119 Neuron Spike Train Analysis Programs C. M. Malpus, Ph. D., Department of Physiology, University of Leeds, Leeds, United Kingdom Three of the basic presentation methods for single neuron spike train data are carried out by these programs. A flexible data collection routine allows simultaneous collection of two independent spike trains. FREQHIST constructs instantaneous frequency histograms, PSTMHIST Constructs post-stimulus histograms and INTVHIST interval histograms. All displays are fully calibrated and can be scaled and expanded by the operator. FREQHIST and PSTMHIST can simultaneously collect one channel of analog information for later monitoring or cross-correlation.
These programs may be loaded and run from standard DIAL files, but are optimally used in conjunction with the DATAFILE library facility, in order to stare collected data on LINCtape.
The LINCtape supplied contains binaries and sources of all three programs filed under DIAL. In addition a DATAFILE library system containing the three binaries occupies the low end of the tape. This area is reserved in the DIAL index. Minimum Hardware: 4K PDP-12, KW12, VR12, AD12, TTY Source Language: DIAL DECUS NO. 12-120 DUAL Assembler John R.

The waveform is sampled and continuously displayed. The waveform can be frozen, via the sense switches, and the minimum and maximum values of the waveform determined (and indicated). Two cursors, controlled by the A/D Converter pots, are displayed congruous to the waveform; their horizontal and, vertical absolute differences are displayed. The routine is particularly useful for analysis of physiological signals, i.e., calculation of QRS width, S-T interval, R-R interval, etc. Minimum Hardware: PDP-12 with TTY, API and EAE, KW12 Source Language: DIAL-MS DECUS NO. 12-126 WAVEFORM: Evoked Potential Analysis T. Joe Willey, School of Mediciine, Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, California This program reads single or double-precision data from LINCtape; displays a waveform, baseline and cursor; and finds peaks and zero-crossover points for principal evoked potential deflections. The complex waveform is reduced to fundamental waveform descriptors in terms of amplitude, latency, rise, fall and peak area. The program also estimates coefficients to an elemental waveform involving a damped sinusoidal function that characterizes the evoked potential. The program has general application in neurophysiology but may be useful to other kinds of problems involving data reduction and analysis.

Jamesville-DeWitt Central Schools, Syracuse, New York COMPARE is an efficient means for 4K PDP-12 users to compare blocks on LINCtape. It recognizes extended units and utilizes extended addressing. The program compares 7 blocks at a time, although to minimize tape motion it alternates the reading of "from" and "to" blocks. I. E. it will alternate reading "from" & "to" blocks with reading "to" & "from" blacks. So in effect the program compares 14 blocks at a time. It also allows the user to limit the comparison to a specified section of each block.

Walker, Institute of Oceanography, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada AD74 is a fast analog to digital conversion program. Analog data input is through the standard 16 channel PDP-12 A-D converter. Digitized data is recorded on 9 track tape with the IBM compatible TU-10 drive.
For a single input channel the maximum rate is about 16000 samples/second. This limit is made possible by using the RK8 as a buffer between core and tape.
For applications where an RK8 is not available, or where
high speed is not essential, data may be dumped on tape
without disk buffering at a maximum rate of about 5000
samples/second.
Minimum Hardware: PDP-12 A-D inputs, TU-10 tape,
KW-12A clock, RK8 disk (optional),
VR12
Storage Requirement: 8K
Source Language: DIAL
