RAW EPHEM
Common raw_ephem, sc_r, sc_th, ep_t, n_ep
| sc_r | float | array | Heliocentric distance values. |
| sc_th | float | array | Heliograpic latitudes. |
| ep_t | float | array | Times of the above values (in HS time notation). |
| n_ep | long | scalar | Maximum subscript in the above arrays. |
The ephemeris data as read in from the data files (allows faster interpolation for averaging).
SECT_LIST
common sect_list, sect_num
| sect_num | integer | array(variable) | The sector number to be plotted |
Allows the correct sector numbers to be put on plots when a list of sectors is selected for replotting.

| bg_subtract | integer | Scalar | Whether to subtract backgrounds. |
| avsect_show | integer | scalar | Whether to add averages to sectored plots. |
| plot_against | integer | scalar | Which parameter to use as X-axis. |
| dist_log | integer | scalar | Whether to use log or linear distance plot. |
| updown | integer | scalar | Whether to swpa colours on direction reversals. |
| use_frame | integer | scalar | Whether to add frames & titles to plot page. |
General purpose settings for PLOT_RATES.
TRACK_BINS
common track_bins, minbin, maxbin, trkmap
| maxbin | int | array(12) | Highest bin present for each species. |
| trkmap | int | array | Wart channels present in each bin. |
The channel limits for each species in the track-rates plots.
TRK_ENERGIES
common trk_energies, ntrk_chan, trk_lo, trk_hi, trk_geo
| ntrk_chan | int | scalar | Number of track channels. |
