With PLOT, any quarter of upper memory may be plotted on an X-Y Plotter {contents vs. location} in either a continuous or point-by-point mode. Linear or logarithmic plotting can be done in any axis combinations. Captions may also be entered on the plot and data can be read/written on either unit. One quarter can be plotted against another quarter in the same memory bank. The desired plots can be displayed on the oscilloscope before plotting.

PLOTTEST is a program designed to demonstrate a call ing sequence for PLOT and the system performance by generating a diagonal line for plotting. It is useful as a preliminary check.

Minimum Hardware: Standard LINC-8 with X-Y Plotter and remote pen control (needs lots of DC offset)

Other Programs Needed: Q & A (DEC-L8-PAA-D)

Source Language: LAP6

Restrictions: Normally data must be in the range 0-+377(8)
