The limitations consist essentially of the predefined size of the declared arrays in the system. This version does not use dynamic memory allocation. The different sizes of the arrays are determined via PARAMETER declarations in the corresponding include files. The most common limitation seen by the user is the displayed number of test results on the screen. Even if the arrays are internally large enough to handle the analysis properly, the online display will put a limit on the number of variables seen on the screen. The three main display tables have the following limits:
* EFFICIENCIES | 38 test variables |
* PREV | 38 raw data words |
* PEEPER | 72 variables (raw+computed var.+tests) |
The rest of the system limitations are given in the following table. The
declaration of these parameters are made within one of the include files.
Essentially, one include file is provided for each section of SusiQ, i.e.
acquisition, test and histogram section. Three more include files are available
which deal with general inter-routine communication (susictl.inc),
graphic support (susigrf.inc) and camac access (causer.inc).
