RSIC CODE PACKAGE PSR-320

1. NAME AND TITLE

SCALPLO 1.0: Code System for Plotting Flux Output from SCALE Modules and Related Programs.

2. CONTRIBUTOR

Delft University of Technology, Interfaculty Reactor Institute, Mekelweg 15, 2629 JB Delft, The Netherlands

3. CODING LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER/OPERATING SYSTEM

Fortran 77; VAX 4300

4. NATURE OF PROBLEM SOLVED

SCALPLO is designed to plot flux, power and spectrum information. Data exchange between SCALE modules and SCALPLO is via CCCC-interface files. As not all modules can produce these files, there are special routines supplied with SCALPLO that can produce CCCC-like files. Three subroutines are supplied to make CCCC-like interface files readable to SCALPLO and it is possible to add them to other codes. Description of adapting XSDRNPM, CITATION, ANISN and DOT is added to the manual. The BOLD-VENTURE module already uses CCCC interface files. It is also possible to enter ASCII X-Y data for fast evaluation of simple data.

5. METHOD OF SOLUTION

SCALPLO consists of two sections. The preprocessor selects and reads the required data, and the plot section produces the plot on the selected output device.

6. RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS

SCALPLO requires DISSPLA version 11.0 or higher. The choice of output device depends on the devices installed.

7. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

Depends on the amount of data to be read and the output device selected. Running time will be less than one minute.

8. COMPUTER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

3 Mbytes of virtual memory. VAX family.

9. COMPUTER SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

Fortran-77 (full standard, except the input statement NAMELIST option, accepted by many compilers), VMS 5.4 (DEC VAX 4300 cluster). SCALPLO uses DISSPLA graphics library version 11.0 or higher. SCALPLO routine INISYS is the appropriate place to enter the DISSPLA initializations.
