pttest rootname
rootname
The root name of the output test files. The actual test files are stored in
in the PTOOLS package test directory. If the test files already exist
PTTEST will exit with a warning message.
ptlogfile =
The name of the output log file. By default all the output is logged in a file
called rootname.log". If the log file already exists PTTEST will
exit with a warning message.
ptplotfile =
The name of the output plot file. By default all the graphics output is
logged in a file called rootname.plot". If the plot file already exists
PTTEST will exit with a warning message.
PTTEST is a simple script which exercises each of the major tasks in the PTOOLS package in turn. At startup PTTEST reads a small set of text files stored in the PTOOLS test subdirectory and creates copies of them in the user's working directory. PTTEST initializes the PTTOLS package by returning all the parameters to their default state, runs each of the PTOOLS tasks in non-interactive mode, spools the text output to the file ptlogfile, and the graphics output from the PEXAMINE task to the plot metacode file ptplotfile.
Some of PTOOLS tasks which PTTEST attempts to test are in the STSDAS TABLES package. If this package is not available a warning message will appear on the screen and this part of the PTTEST script will be skipped. The TABLES external addon package is availble from ST.
