This document describes the PLOT3D program (DECUS No. 12-43), which allows users to display data from LINCtape, perform modifications, and plot the result on an XY plotter to create a three-dimensional effect. Key features include:
- Functionality: Users can process both single and double precision data, apply selectable spacing between blocks, and utilize an included subroutine for labeling graphs.
- Operation: The guide provides detailed loading instructions for the LAP6-DIAL environment, parameter input steps (e.g., block ranges, data type, and spacing), and an overview of sense switch and keyboard controls for manipulating the plot display.
- Output: The program generates a heading and X-axis followed by the plotted data, with a specific 'TYPE' routine available for manual labeling on the plotter.
