Section E. PROGRAM OUTPUT 



1. Printed Output 



Three forms of output are generated by the RAP LOT II program - 

 printed output, graphical output, and magnetic tape output. 



The printed output for one data file consists of one page listing 

 the program control parameters and summary statistics (Figure 5) followed 

 by a complete listing of the unprocessed and processed data arrays 

 (Figure 6) . 



The printout of program parameters and summary statistics for RAPLOT 

 III (Figure 7) is virtually the same. However, the radar-range data and 

 uncorrected radiation data are deleted from the printed listing (Figure 8) . 

 Also, only one channel of corrected radiation data is included. 



Because of the large volume of data files that may be processed by 

 the RAPLOT II program, it is usually necessary to keep track of the number 

 of pages of output. Fifty lines are printed to a page of output; one page 

 is required for program control parameters and another page for summary 

 statistics. Therefore, the number of pages per data file = 2 + (number of 

 lines of data/50.) 



2. Graphical Output 



Graphical output from RAPLOT II is in the form of plot commands 

 that are either written out on magnetic tape or punched onto cards to be 

 used to drive a Benson-Lehner plotter off-line. Under the present setup, 

 the plot commands are written out on logical tape unit 9; therefore, 

 this same unit cannot be used for other tape input or output without first 

 making changes. On the UNIVAC 1108 system, the plot commands are blocked 

 and written out in card image length records at 556 bits per inch in even 

 parity, BCD. Experience has shown that one full tape will hold approxi- 

 mately 20 separate plots. Assuming that 2 plots are generated per file 

 of data, this means that 10 files of radiation survey data will generate 

 a full tape of plot commands. 



RAPLOT II graphical output consists of three types of plots - plots 

 of the trackline followed by the survey vehicle, plots of uncorrected 

 radiation data (for plotting background radiation), and plots of cor- 

 rected radiation data. Selection of the various plots is controlled by 

 the variable NOPT in Table I. The plot selection options are independent 

 of each other. Any one of the three plot types may be selected, or all 

 three if it is desired. Normally, the trackline plot is selected and 

 then, depending on whether the data is from a background or a radiation 

 survey, either the plot of uncorrected radiation or corrected radiation 

 data is selected. Plots of the survey vehicle trackline and the cor- 

 rected radiation data are shown in Figures 9 and 10.
