This is the README file for the throughput example directory.

This directory contains source code to two example programs.

The first program, "tput", sets up a measurement on multiple E143x
input modules, and has them send the data over the VXI local bus.  It
sets up an E1562 to read this data and send it to disk.

As is always the case with local bus, all modules must be in
contiguous slots in the VXI mainframe, with the E1562 module on the
right of all the input modules.  This example program assumes that the
first E143x module specified on the command-line is the left-most one
(this module must generate local bus data rather than append local bus
data).

The default for "tput" is to use a single E143x module at logical
address 8, and send the data to an E1562 module at logical address
144.  These can be changed on the command-line.

The second program, "pbck", uses the E1562 to read data from a disk,
and plot the data to windows on an X11 display.

For help in running these example programs, use the command-line
option "-u" to get a summary of the command-line options that the
program understands.

For more detailed information about the programs, see the comments at
the top of the source files tput.c and pbkc.c.
