PCS_PSRTC_TESTING.MEM
                                               ---------------------

After software change to RTC and/or PCS, perform the following tests.
In general, d_000001.o should be identical to old version.
If differences are correct, a new "reference" file should be created
and added to cvs:   filename $RTC_INPUT/d_[host]_[yymmdd].o

New and "reference" d.o files can be compared with idl "readrtc.pro".

=======================================================================
Testing psrtc only:
------------------

(in psc/rtc directory)

> setenv RTC_INPUT $PWD/test2
> rtc860
> cmp d_000001.o $RTC_INPUT/d_[host]_[yymmdd]
    --> yymmdd is for latest ref file
    --> should be identical

=======================================================================
Testing pcs + psrtc:  (using "testPcs" files)
-------------------

                                (in pcs directory)

                                > cp ~gibney/psc/testPcs/NextShot.wa10 .
                                > starpcs
                                ...wait for startup
                                > send_message_int $HOST 1235 4
                                > send_message_int $HOST 1235 5
(in psc/rtc directory)

> setenv RTC_INPUT $PWD/testPcs
> rtc860 -pcs
> cmp d_000001.o $RTC_INPUT/d_[host]_[yymmdd]
    --> yymmdd is for latest ref file
    --> should be identical

=======================================================================
Testing pcs + psrtc:  (general case)
-------------------

                                (in pcs directory)

                                > starpcs
                                  ...wait for startup
                                  Note: pcs "Data Acqisition: operating
                                   setup data" should show "Normal" mode.
                                   "Time to stop" should match psrtc's
                                   "tmax" as shown at psrtc startup.
                                > declare_evt ENGINEERING_TESTSHOT  900000
                                  ...this creates/clears MDSplus files
                                > send_message_int $HOST 1235 4
                                > send_message_int $HOST 1235 5
(in psc/rtc directory)
