The graphical output from RAPLOT III is produced on the Stromberg- 

 Carlson 4020 computer recorder. The technique for getting the plots is 

 somewhat the same as the Benson- Lehner plotter in that the plot commands 

 are written out on magnetic tape and are then used off-line to generate 

 the plots. There is a highly developed software package that goes with 

 the S-C 4020 and if it is planned to use this method of generating plots, 

 the Programmers' Reference Manual for the S-C 4020 should be used. Figure 

 11 is a trackline plot produced on the computer recorder at the Pacific 

 Missile Range data processing center at Point Mugu. Figure 12 is a plot 

 of uncorrected radiation data that was also produced there. 



3. Magnetic Tape Output 



The processed data is stored on magnetic tape for future refer- 

 ence by the calls to the NTRAN subroutine. The arrays written out are: 

 LEGEND, sequence number (NMBR) , coordinates of radiation location (NCORD 

 and ECORD) , and corrected radiation data (CCR) . This procedure has been 

 eliminated from RAPLOT III. 



Section F. INSTRUCTIONS FOR RUNNING PROGRAM 



An example of a job deck setup for running RAPLOT II is shown in 

 Figure 13. Further instructions on running jobs are in the 1108 EXEC II 

 Programmers' Reference Manual. Running time depends on the number of files 

 being processed and the number of records in each file. Figure 14 shows 

 a graph of UNIVAC 1108 central processing unit time to process one file 

 versus the number of records in the file. 



For running version III on the IBM 7094, consult the IBM reference 

 manuals for FORTRAN IV and the system monitor (IBSYS) . It may also be 

 useful to have a copy of the Programmers ' Reference Manual for the 

 S-C 4020 Computer Recorder. 



Section G. RADIATION CONTOURING PROGRAM 



Present programming effort is directed toward completing RADCON, a 

 FORTRAN V program for drawing contour maps of radiation data. The input 

 for this program will be the files of processed data on magnetic tape that 

 have been generated by RAPLOT II. If necessary, two or more data files may 

 be combined to provide the input for one contour map. The radiation data 

 are first smoothed by a moving average (LINAVE) procedure and then inter- 

 polated over a uniform grid by a weighted least-squares numerical approxi- 

 mation (NUPRX) . The resulting grid is then contoured at equally spaced 

 intervals of the gridded values. There are also options for transforming 

 the radiation data, although the number of options and types of trans- 

 formation is still undecided.
