Shot Identifiers

    

There are two special shot ``numbers''. ``LAST'' accesses the current value of the system wide logical variable TFTR_SHOT, which is updated when data for a new shot is ready. When TFTR is shut down it is the last shot of the previous run. ``NEXT'' causes CUPLOT\ to wait for the next shot to occur; when TFTR_SHOT is updated CUPLOT wakes up and uses the new value:

 
	SH LAST

DE NB-BP-SL ;

A shot number of ``.-n'' uses the previous SH value minus n when n 20; ``.+n'' uses the previous SH shot plus n:

 
	DE M-ETOT ;

SH LAST !most recent shot

GO

SH .-1 !one before that

GO

SH .+2 !two after that

The default value for the SH shot number is one more than the previous value, thus ``SH .+1'' is equivalent to ``SH ,''.
