JETDSP - Error signals

Define or edit signal errors for a given PPF

At present Jetdsp stores the associations between a PPF signal and its errors in a text file located in the user home area. This file is called errorSignalList.txt and is located in the ~/.jetdsp/ folder. If this file does not exist, Jetdsp automatically copies the last version from its installation directory.

It is possible to edit and change the association between a signal and its errors. Each association is defined by the keyword signal and is included by graph parenteses. The user must specify the DDA and DTYPE of the signal of interest. The type of error and the DTYPEs associated with the signal of interest are specified as follow:


Type Syntax
Example
1 (Symmetric)
dimensionERRHI=dtype
dimensionERRLO=dtype

where dimension could be Z, X or T
signal: {
DDA=ICRH
DTYPE=PTOT
ZERRLO=PTOE
ZERRHI=PTOE

}
2 (Asymmetric)
dimensionUPPER=dtype
dimensionLOWER=dtype

where dimension could be Z, X or T
signal: {
DDA=CXSM
DTYPE=CONC
ZUPPER=COHI
ZLOWER=COLO

}
3 (Radial)
XRAD=1 in case radial error bars are requested
nothing otherwise
signal: {
DDA=CXSM
DTYPE=ANB1
XRAD=1

}

It is possible to specify different error types on different dimensions for the same PPF, for example type 1 for the Z dimension and type 2 for the X dimension. It is not possible to define two different error types on the same dimension of one PPF. For example is ZERRHI=dtype1, ZLOWER=dtype2 for the same PPF is not allowed.
