Array display tool ADT reference manual. Version 1.0

Array Display Tool (ADT) is a Motif Program to display arrays of process variables from the Advanced Photon Source control system. A typical use is to display the horizontal and vertical monitor readings. The screen layout, apart from the menu bar, consists of two types of graphic areas in which the values for the arrays of process variables are shown: Display areas, which display one or more arrays as a function of index, and a zoom area. In the zoom area specified arrays are displayed as a function of lattice position along with symbols for the major elements of the lattice. There can be several display areas, but at most one zoom area. When the screen is resized these areas change size proportionally. There are several (currently 5) slots in which you can store values internally. In addition you can display the values with specified reference values subtracted. The program continuously updates and displays the standard deviation, average, and maximum absolute values for each array and will show the envelope of recent values if desired. The time between updates can be changed via the View Menu or may be specified in the PV file. There is a configuration file that is needed to get ADT running. Most of the features of the screen layout, including what process variables are shown in what display areas. are determined by a PV file. The contents of this file determine such things as curve color, units, and scaling. Another relevant file is a lattice file, which specifies the symbols and longitudinal lattice positions of the elements in the lattice.Sets of values can be saved and restored via snapshot files. Most of the available options can be discovered intuitively by looking through the menus. This manual is primary for reference and is not a tutorial
