Purpose

Input File

A Ginga data CUBE or TIME series.

Input Parameters

Procedure pl_ginga.qcl requires a variable number of input parameters. The QX parameter system is used to read these parameters.

1. The name of the input data CUBE or TIME series.
2. The graphics device.
3. Data to be displayed along the X-axis.
4. Data to be displayed along the Y-axis.
5. If the data CUBE contains an energy axis then the spectral channel to be displayed is required.
6. If the data CUBE or TIME series has a detector axis and the LAC count rate is to be displayed, then the first and last detectors are required.
7. Detailed labels to be use on the plot (Y/N; the default is N).
8. Plot best-fit straight line (Y/N; the default is N).
9. Start and stop time of the data to be used in the plot.
10. Minimum and maximum Y-axis values to be displayed.
11. Minimum and maximum X-axis values to be displayed.

Note that:

1. The response to the X-axis data can be either "LAC", "TIME" or any HK parameter name (such as SUD, PI_MONI, LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, COR, YELEVATION, RA, DEC, ROLL).
2. Time cannot be plotted on the Y-axis.
3. The Y- and X- scaling parameters apply to all panels in multi-panel plots.
