  developed at PPL
• Java - portable
• Internet ready

5
TSCplotVerbosity Level Option

• Expert
• Assumes users full knowledge of the program
• Command V1
• Novice
• Adds detailed descriptions as the program is
  executed.
• Command V0

6
Plot Options

• 4 types of plots to choose from
• Scalar Variable f(ti)
• 1D variables f(R) or f(psi)
• 2D variables f(R, z)
• 3D plot of 1D variables f(R, ti)

7
1. Scalar Variable Plot

• Scalar variable f (ti)
• Further Choice
• Data comparison of a variable
• Plot of Power variables
• Plot of Current variables

8
2. 1D Variable Plot

• 1D variable f(R, ti) or f(psi,ti)
• Further Choice
• 1D variable vs. Major Radius
• 1D variable vs. Flux

9
3. Contour Plot

• 2D variable f (R, z, ti )
• Plot on R - z field
• User chooses a time slot
• ( 0 tn seconds) to display

10
3D Plot

• Plots 1D variables on
• space time field
• Time indexed data display
• Radius variables
• Flux variables

11
Re-plot option

• At the end of each run
• Choose a re-plot option
• R0 - re-plot with the default features
• R1 - re-plot with customized features
• R2 - go back to the sub-menu
• R3 - go back to the main menu
