MICROSCOPE News v. 1: A Primer on MICROSCOPE
Welcome to MICROSCOPE.
If at any stage you are getting tired of this summary you can abort
t by typing a period (followed, like everything else in MICROSCOPE by
a carriage return, see below).
It is assumed that you know what you want to use MICROSCOPE for and
that you only need to know how to go about it. To make full use of
MICROSCOPE you really should obtain a copy of the manual which is
your system manager. If for some reason you can't get a hold of one,
contact Peter Alfeld, Department of Mathematics, University of Utah,
Salt Lake City, Utah 84112, Tel. 801-581-6842. I'd also be glad to hear
of your comments or suggestions.
The following is an excerpt from section 3.2 of the manual. It
3.2 The Command Mode
The MICROSCOPE prompt is of the form:
n >>
ncremented by 1 after each command.
A MICROSCOPE command is a string of at least two letters and
mmediately following the prompt. On an active screen, this will be in
the same line as the prompt, on an inactive screen, or in the scrolling
version, on the next line. Blank spaces are significant. (MICROSCOPE
be filled with arbitrary characters. They are not read or processed by
MICROSCOPE. This is sometimes useful for including comments in a
After a command you will be prompted for the appropriate data
(if any are needed). The prompt is specific to the commands.
The dimension of the vectors is identical to the number of
variables of the trial function. (The default is 2, see section 4.18
for a listing of all defaults). Numbers are processed by an internal
- Blanks are ignored. For example "1 2" is considered the
- Numbers on the same line must be separated by commas.
- Numbers can also be separated by writing them on separate
lines (omiting the comma).
- If two vectors are requested, then the second vector must
- When a single number (Integer or Real) is requested, then an
empty string (obtained by just pushing the RETURN button) is considered
to mean zero. This is particularly useful when a zero entry implies
that a submode (see the descriptions of the PLOT and the USER commands
n sections 4.14 and 4.15 respectively) is to be exited.
- When two integers are requested, then either one or both can
be represented by an empty string. (The only command for which this
feature is useful is TYPE.)
- Floating Point numbers (like 1.0E-12 or 1D-4) are processed
correctly.
- Floating Point numbers may also be represented as integers.
After receiving the data, MICROSCOPE processes the command and
the data. If the screen is active, then the command is carried out and
the alphanumerical display is updated, otherwise the next command is
If a command is not recognized by MICROSCOPE, then a message
correct, but otherwise meaningless (e.g. you request the graph of the
There are currently 63 commands which divide into 11 major groups.
You can obtain a listing of them by giving the command LIST, a brief
command by HELP.
Good luck, you are on your own now ...
