Introduction

Diagnostic dot files specify geometric and auxiliary information about each diagnostic. Parsing of a diagnostic dot file begins by searching for a valid keyword. All lines before a valid keyword is reached are ignored allowing for comments and other information to be inserted in the file. Once a keyword is reached, the parsing becomes strict. The diagnostic description format is dependant on the specific keyword. All diagnostic dot files must end with an end_of_file keyword.

This document contains information about the ECE chord specifications. Chords are specified in a structured text file. This file is read in by the v3fit_input::ece_dot_filename variable of the name list input file. Chords are specified as two verticies in either meters or radians.

Keywords

ece_chord_XYZ	An ECE chord specified in Cartesian coordinates.
ece_chord_RPhiDegZ	An ECE chord specified in Cylindrical coordinates.

Chord Specification

All ECE chords are specified in the following manner.

key_word
name(STRING len:data_parameters::data_short_name_length)
x1(REAL) y1(REAL) z1(REAL)
x2(REAL) y2(REAL) z2(REAL)
frequency(REAL)
