{\bf Notes to Table~\ref{tab:ptgrid}:}

This grid of pointing stars was compiled by Roger Wood and Janet Sinclair and
covers the whole sky north of declination $-$30\degs. The aim has 
been to locate stars close to grid points on meridians separated by 1 hour 
in right ascension and separated by 15\degs\, in declination. Thus, for even 
hours of Right Ascension grid points were taken at Declinations $-$30\degs,
$-$15\degs, 0\degs, +15\degs, +30\degs, +45\degs, +60\degs, +75\degs, and for
odd hours of Right Ascension at Declinations $-$22.5\degs, $-$7.5\degs, 
+7.5\degs, +22.5\degs, +37.5\degs, +52.5\degs, +67.5\degs, +82.5\degs,
supplemented by a single point at +90\degs, a total of 193 points.
Each star is identified by a catalogue name indicating 
the position of its nearest grid point in the format RA$\pm$DD.

For the best astrometric accuracy the AGK3 catalogue has been used 
north of the equator and, since there is no comparable catalogue in 
the south, the Perth 70 catalogue where suitable stars exist or the 
SAO catalogue where they do not. In order to create a grid of stars 
with uniform properties the following selection criteria were adopted: 
 
\begin{itemize}
 \item Photographic magnitude between 8.5 and 9.5 
 \item Spectral type between G5 and K5 
 \item Small proper motion 
 \item No double stars, clusters or crowded fields
\end{itemize}
 
It was not always possible to apply these criteria rigidly. In difficult 
cases, the star which seemed to fulfil most of them has been chosen. 
An overlay was also produced for each field so that the star images 
could be examined on the Palomar survey prints.
For AGK3 stars, the photographic magnitudes given are taken straight 
from that catalogue. The Perth 70 and SAO catalogues give only visual 
magnitudes: in consequence the magnitudes given here have been adjusted 
by applying a nominal B-V derived from the spectral type of the star.

\subsection {The Perkin Elmer Operating System (MTM)}
\label{PEOS}
This section contains a brief introduction to some commands of the Perkin
Elmer MTM Operating System. For full details, the reader is referred to the
PE~OS/32 documentation on the bay in room D102 (to be reached via room D101)
on the first floor of the INT building. A listing of some useful commands
is given in Table~\ref{tab:peos}. Here follow some additional comments, and
a short desciption of the use of Perkin Elmer Fortran.

\topsep 0pt
{\bf Miscellaneous Notes}

\begin{itemize}
\parsep 0.2cm \parskip 0.2cm
\item {\bf Sign on/off}

Before you can do anything at all, you have to sign on to the (presumably)
Perkin Elmer 3210 with:

\PE{SI(GNON) INITIALS,ACCOUNT,PASSWORD} \hspace{1.0cm}{\it e.g.\/} 
   {\tt SI ABZ,4,4}

where the {\it initials\/} are your up to three initials, and the {\it password}
on observer accounts is at present the same as the {\it account} number.

At the end of your trials and tribulations, sign off with:

\PE{SO}

\item {\bf File Descriptors}

The full description of a file is:

DISK:FILENAME.EXTENSION/ACCOUNT \hspace{1.5cm} {\it e.g.\/} SYS:PHOCDP.001/8

The {\it filename} consists of up to 8 characters. The disk volume name 
`SYS:' is unique to the System Disk from which the operating system executes
system-type `CCS' files and tasks, such as FORT, LINK and EDIT. Therefore, 
it is not a good idea to rename the System Volume, unless you know precisely 
what you are doing.

\item {\bf Display}

Below are given some examples with the DISPLAY command; notice the use of
the wild-card symbols `--' and `$*$' (not the MTM prompt, of course):

\begin{tabular}{ll}
\PE{D F,$-$.$-$/$*$}    & displays all files on that disk\\
\PE{D F,$-$.FTN}        & displays all `.FTN' files; similarly for 
                          other extensions\\
\PE{D F,DONKEY.$-$}     & displays all `DONKEY' files whatever their extension\\
\PE{D F,DONKEY.FTN/$-$} & displays all `DONKEY.FTN' files for whatever account\\
\end{tabular}

\item {\bf Rename \& Copy}

To rename a file (can only be done on the same disk) do:
 
\PE{RENAME FILE.EXT/ACC\,,\,NEWFILE.NEWEXT/NEWACC}

Copy, however, also works from disk to disk:

\PE{COPY FILEDESCRIPTOR\,,\,NEWFILEDESCRIPTOR}

When copying on the same disk, leave out the volume specification. Take
care to delete unwanted copies of files, to maximize available disk space.

\subsubsection{Compile, Link and Run a FORTRAN program}
\vskip 0.5cm

\begin{itemize}
\parsep 0.2cm \parskip 0.2cm
\item
A Perkin Elmer FORTRAN$\:$VII reference manual and user guide can be found in
the documentation bay in room D102 on the first floor of the INT building.

\item
To Compile a FORTRAN program use:

\PE{FORT FILE\,,\,DEV:}~~~~~~~~~~~or

\PE{FORTOPT FILE\,,\,DEV:}~~~~for the optimized version 

Here, FILE is the filename of the source code. It MUST have file extension
`.FTN', but this specification does NOT appear in the FORT or FORTOPT commands.
The `DEV:' specification refers to the output device for the process. It can
be omitted, for no output if you are very confident, or be either:
\vspace{0.2cm}

\begin {tabular}{lll}
CON: & for output to your terminal\\
LP: & for output to the lineprinter in the Instrument Computer Room\\
\end{tabular}

\item
Similarly, after successful compilation, you link a program with:

\PE{LINK FILE\,,\,DEV:}

If you have several files to LINK you can put them in a LINKFILE.LNK file and
when linking this file, the LINK task will properly find all files specified.

\item
After a successful link then have fun with:

\PE{LO(AD) FILE}\\
\PE{ST(ART)}

\subsection {The Perkin Elmer text EDITOR} \label{editor}

This section is intended as a very brief introduction to the PE text editor,
just to get you started. For full details of commands the reader is referred 
to section 3 of the Perkin Elmer OS/32 EDIT User Guide, which can be found in
the documentation bay in room D102 (to be reached via room D101)
on the first floor of the INT building.
\vspace{0.2cm}

To enter edit mode, type on the operating system prompt:- 

\PE{EDIT FILE.EXT} \hspace{1.5cm} (extension `.FTN' is assumed if none is 
    specified)

EDIT is essentially a line editor and puts you into 'insert' mode upon entry.
Hit twice \key{Return} to get out of it.

Table~\ref{tab:editor} lists a number of useful commands and their function.
In the commands `{\it range\/}' is of form `{\it n-m\/}' for line {\it n\/}
through {\it m\/}; if no lines are specified,
the current line is taken; `{\it range n-\/}' stands for line {\it n\/} to
end of file.
\vspace{0.2cm}

{\bf Miscellaneous Notes}

\begin{itemize}
\parsep 0.2cm \parskip 0.2cm
\item{\bf To terminate:} 

Use {\tt SAVE} to store an edited file on disk (but stay in EDIT).

Use {\tt END} to leave EDIT. Beware: do SAVE first, if not done before.

Use {\tt DONE} to SAVE and EXIT.

\item{\bf On-line help:}

{\tt HELP} $*$ gives a list of edit commands.

{\tt HELP MNEMONIC} gives short description command MNEMONIC.

\item {\bf Merging files:}

To CONCATENATE files A,B,C using the editor (see table~\ref{tab:editor}):

\begin{tabular}{ll}
\PE{EDIT A} & Edit file A\\
$>${\tt BO} & Move to bottom of file A\\
$>${\tt INC,B,1-} &Include all of file B before current line\\
$>${\tt INC,C,1-} &Include all of file C before current line\\
$>${\tt DO} & Saves edited file and exits\\
\end{tabular}

\item{\bf BIOC mode:} 

BIOC mode (see OS/32 EDIT User Guide, section D-1) enables editing with
a cursor. One may, or may not, find this more convenient than simple line
editing in NOBIOC mode. Default mode is BIOC, {\it i.e. \/} cursor editing.

\item{\bf ADAM:} 

If you `break' out of ADAM, you can only type single line commands, so you
{\it cannot\/} use EDIT while running ADAM.  The only way to edit while
running ADAM is to sign on to another System Console, using another account.

\subsection {Magnetic Tape Handling on the Perkin Elmer}
\subsubsection {Tape Backup using FASTBACK}
\label{fastback}

FASTBACK is a quick and efficient method of backing up disks and
transporting data.  It is very economic of tape but the tapes can be read only
by other Perkin-Elmer machines with OS/32. Therefore, observers can 
use FASTBACK only if they are going to read their tape on a 
Perkin Elmer back home. As Murphy's law dictates, STARLINK does not support
any PE hardware, nor does RGO have any PEs at Cambridge.

FASTBACK works disk-to-tape or {\it vice-versa\/}. FASTBACK does not work
from disk to disk; you will have to use BACKUP instead. If you intend to work 
tape-to-disk, remove the "write-enable" ring from your tape, or a moment's
lapse in concentration may corrupt an irreplaceable tape.

FASTBACK can be run on the PE\,3210 Instrument Computer from any of its three
terminals:

\begin{tabular}{ll}
\,\PE{LO(AD) FASTBACK}\\
\,\PE{T(ASK) FASTBACK}\\
\,\PE{ST(ART)} & and answer at the prompts:\\
$>${\tt BA(CKUP)} & for disc-to-tape backup (tape write-enabled ?) \\
~~~{\it or\/} {\tt RES(TORE)} & for tape-to-disc (write-ring removed ?)\\
$>$Copy from unprotected disc? & {\tt Y(ES)}\\
$>$Vol or DEVN: & {\it e.g.} {\tt SYS:}\\
$>$Tape & {\tt MAG1:} or {\tt MAG2:}\\
\end{tabular}

You can now work through all the options available, but the odds are that
you will just want the defaults. Therefore, you can skip further input at
any time, and start the data transfer, by typing:

~~$>$\,!\,{\tt GO}

which will initiate the transfer (and verify) of files files to the tape 
or disk. If you only want to transfer specific files, then type:
\vspace{0.3cm}

~~$>\,$@

which allows you to select files interactively: 
Run through the questions giving the default option at every line until 
you are prompted for a list of files.  You can either type in a list of 
files followed by period-slash, `./', or use wild cards such as `--.FTN',
 `HSP.--', or `--.--/60' followed by `./'. Further tricks that may be
useful are {\it e.g.\/}: `REN(AME) = --.--/60', which allows you to change 
account number, or `!--.OBJ/--' to omit all `--.OBJ' files from your current
file selection.

If you want to FASTBACK files created since a certain date, go through the 
questions, until you get the AGE prompt:

\begin{tabular}{ll}
~~$>$DEFAULT AGE  & {\tt Y(ES)}     \\
~~$>$SI(NCE) =    & {\tt 01/APR/90} \\
~~$>$\,!\,{\tt GO}\\
\end{tabular}

{\bf If you wish to abandon at any stage, send STOP.}

\newpage
\subsubsection{Reading non Perkin-Elmer Tapes}
\label{mtanal}

Strange Magnetic Tapes can be analyzed with the MTANAL System procedure:

\PE{MTANAL  MAG1:}~~~~~~(or {\tt MAG2:})

To copy files to disk from a magnetic tape which you have just `MTANAL-ed':

\PE{COPY MAG1:\,,\,FILE.EXT\,,\,RECL=xx\,,\,NF=1\,,\,SKIP=yy}

The default skip is {\tt yy}=0, but specifying {\tt SKIP=0} will result in an 
error status. In order to copy the whole tape, specify {\tt NF=ALL}.
