Description
PRODUCT NAME: RT -11/FORTRAN Enhancement Package,
for MINe (FEP), Version 2.1
DESCRIPTION:
RT-11/FORTRAN Enhancement Package for MINC
(FEP) is a FORTRAN systems software package consisting of the following eight components:
• RT-11, Version 4.0 Real-Time Operating System
• FORTRAN IV/RT-11, Version 2.5
• REAL-11/MNC, Version 2.1 Real-Time Data Acquisition and Control Library for MNC-series modules
• SSP-11, Version 1.3 Scientific Subroutines Package
• LSP-11, Version 1.2 Laboratory Subroutines
Package
• INSTRUMENT Bus Subroutines, Version 2.1 library forthe control of instruments which communicate via I EEE-488 bus
• FDT, Version 2.1, Fortran Debugging Technique
• RGL/11, Version 1.1, ReGIS Graphics Library for
VT-125 bit-map graphics and data plotting.
RT -11 - Supports single job (SJ), foreground/background (FB), and extended memory (XM) modes of
processing. The emphasis in RT-11 is on efficient use
of system resources, minimizing system requirements
in the CPU and on the mass storage device, while
maximizing system throughput. Refer to SPD No.
12.1.xx for specifics.
FORTRAN IV - Extended implementation of the
FORTRAN language based on the ANSI FORTRAN,
X3.9-1966 standard. It operates under the RT -11 Operating System. Refer to SPD No. 12.1 O.XX for specifics.

• MNCTP
• MNCAM
• MNCAA

This library provides buffered multiple-channel input
and output sweeps (of analog or digital data) with
FORTRAN completion support. Sampling can be
initiated and triggered either by an external source or
through the real-time clock. Time-interval histogram
data can also be acquired. The library is self-configuring for the particular set of devices in the user's
configuration. This library also provides the capability
to transfer data messages between the MINC system
and devices that can transmit and receive serial ASCII
characters.
Scientific Subroutine Package (SSP-11) - Set of over
100 mathematical and statistical routines, commonly
required in scientific programming. The subroutihes
are written in FORTRAN and contain no I/O statements.
Many ofthe larger statistical routines are provided as a
collection of several smaller routines. This enables easier incorporation into larger programs requiring overlays. Refer to SPD No. 15.45.xx for specifics.
Laboratory Subroutine Package (LSP-11) - Set of
FORTRAN-callable subroutines that perform a variety
of standard analytical tasks, commonly encountered in
the laboratory. All of the subroutines are dedicated to
processing data that has been acquired by other laboratory data acquisition software.

REAL-11 MNC Library - Provides FORTRAN-callable
subroutines that control the following MNC-series
modules:

LSP-11 provides the user with the following data
manipulation subroutines:

• MNCKW (programmable real-time clock)
• MNCAD (A/D converter)

• Peak processing
• Envelope processing
• Interval histogramming with reference points

into static and dynamic segments. Static routines display all the user's data in one-call. Dynamic routines
allow the user to add data to a previously defined graph
"paper" by plotting points. This package
includes:

Refer to SPD No. 15.44.xx for specifics.

• Graph "paper" - User defines the type of paper to
plot on; linear or logarithmic (base 10).
• Graph - Subroutines to plot data arrays and pOints
or add data to an existing plot.
• Cursor Support - Digitizes information within a
graph "paper". The cursor is moved by arrow keys
on the keyboard.
• Axis Labeling - Labels the axis with either numeric
values or characters.
• Data Scaling - Minimum and maximum axis values
can be explicitly chosen or left to the system.

INSTRUMENT Bus Subroutines (IBS) - Runs under
the RT -11 Operating System and consists of:
• Library of FORTRAN callable subroutines to support the I B 11 and I BV11-A interface from an I EEE488-1978 General-Purpose Instrument Bus
• Special device handler called by routines in the
library
IBS allows the user to control the IEEE Bus though
commands that contol data transfer via the IBV11-A.
Refer to SPD No. 12.14.xx for specifics.
FORTRAN Debugging Technique (FDT) - Sophisticated interactive debugging tool for FORTRAN IV programs. FDT provides step-by-step control of the execution of the user's program and the ability to examine
and change the contents of any variable in the program
during program execution.
FDT works with FORTRAN programs compiled with
threaded code only and requires an additional 2K
words of memory space during a debugging session.
RGL/11 (ReGIS Graphics Library) - Collection of
FORTRAN-callable subroutines designed to support
the graphics capabilities of the VT125 terminal. The
package provides both picture drawing and data plotting capabilities. ReGIS (Remote Graphics Instruction
Set) is the command protocol used to communicate
between the RGL/11 package and the terminal. ReGIS
commands that are used to draw a picture or a plot can
be saved on a disk for later use. Refer to SPD No.
14.62.xx for specifics.

would indicate, for example, whether the user is
working in degrees or radians.
• Windowing - Permits the definition of a world

of the cursor position in the user's coordinate
system.
