A11.2 Part Two - Reference (continued)

 

A11.2.3 Common Blocks (continued)

 

Blocks for PLOT_CDF

 

These blocks are used only by PLOT_CDF.

 

CDF_ARRAYS

 

common cdf_arrays, cdfrates, cdftimes, cdfndata

 

cdfrates float array(variable) The Actual CDF data.
cdftimes float array(variable) The start times of the above.
cdfndata integer array(variable) Number of data for each channel.

 

This is the CDF equivalent of the data_arrays block in plot_rates.

 

CDF_CHANS

 

common cdf_chans, cdfnames, cdfrecs, cdfindex, cdflog, cdfunits

 

cdfnames string array(variable) Names of the CDf channels.
cdfrecs integer array(variable) The experiment numbers of the codes.
cdfindex integer array(variable) The tag indices of the channels within the structures.
cdflog integer array(variable) Whether the plot is linear or log.
cdfunits string array(variable) The units of the quantities.

 

CDF_FLAGS

 

common cdf_flags, cdf_replot_ok, cdf_hed_used, cdf_arrays_made, $
cdf_filter, cdf_filter_flag

 

cdf_replot_ok integer scalar Is the replotting option valid for PLOT_CDF!.
cdf_hed_used integer scalar Do any/all of the selections come from the HED experiment.
cdf_arrays_made integer scalar Have the CDF arrays been created?
cdf_filter integer scalar Whether to apply crude filter to CDF plots?
cdf_filter_flag integer scalar Has the filtering been done?
