CATACAL
CATACAL is a box car averager and data manipulation program that can acquire
data from an external instrument at rates that range from .25m to 35 seconds per
point. CATACAL has the capability of reading and writing on LINCtape; it can
output one or two spectra to either the scope or an X-Y recorder. It can also
differentiate, integrate, strip, and compare spectra and display the results on
the scope. CATACALE has the same capabilities as CATACAL, but uses EAE. Note
that reassembly of either program requires DIAL-MS. CAT2 and CAT3 are the
sources for the program; CAT1 and CATlE are the floating-point overlays.
CONVERT
CONVERT translates a LAP6 or LAP6-3L source program on LINCtape to source
usable by DIAL.
CREF12
CREF12 allows the DIAL-MS user to generate cross-reference listings of a l l user
defined symbols with the line numbers at which the symbol was defined and used.
DIAL
LAP6-DIALI commonly referred to as DIAL, is supplied in two versions: DIAL-V2,
for non-disk systems and DIAL-MS for 8K d i s k systems. DIAL is the PDP-12
operating system and includes assembling, editing, and PIP capabilities.
D1SPLAY
DISPLAY enables a data display facility for those routines which do not require
complex display processing or cannot sacrifice the core for such a display. The
routine displays any contiguous section of core via a moving window, with a
cursor and octal readout of cursor positions to facilitate operator interaction.

FFTD
Fast Fourier transforms and inverse Fast Fourier transforms can be performed on 4 to 1024 real or complex points using the FFTD (Fast Fourier
Transform and Display) program. The real and imaginary parts of the input or output data and the magnitude and scale factor of the output data
can be displayed on the scope via a moving window. Transformed data
can be stored on DIAL or data LINCtapes or disks.
