This section of the HELP files contains information on 4 small subroutines which allows the user to attach/detach or slave/unslave the plotter. CALL PLTATA This subroutine attaches the plotter with an AST sevice routine. Its's purpose is to trap all unsolicited input. A ^C will terminate the program execution. CALL PLTDET This subroutine removes the attachment of the plotter. CALL PLTSLV This subroutine sets the plotter to SLAVE. Be Because the plotter will be left in SLAVE mode if the program terminates before a call to PLTNOS is made, it is recommended that the user call USEREX with PLTNOS as the argument, i.e. EXTERNAL PLTNOS CALL USEREX( PLTNOS ) CALL PLTSLV See HELP FORTRAN FUNCTIONS USEREX CALL PLTNOS This subroutine UNSLAVE's the plotter.
