TRANSP Output Signals

This page lists some useful TRANSP output signals, note that it is nowhere near complete. It will be gradually expanded as I learn what more of them are. The full, albeit usually cryptic, list of signal names and descriptions is contained within the file 'runID'TF.PLN which is created in the TRANSP working directory of a run. An example of one of these files can be viewed here but it should be noted that different namelist switches can result in different signals being written and consequently this may not contain exactly the same set of outputs as a different TRANSP run. The other option is to search through the list of entries in JETdsp.
