- ╔════════════╗
- ║Set to MACRO║
- ╚════════════╝
-
- If you want to switch to the MACRO MODELL, press <ENTER>.
- The MACRO MODELL lets you simulate the ideal gas using the laws
- of the phenomenological thermodynamics.
- After switching to the MACRO MODEL, you get help about it
- by pressing th <Shift F1> key.

-
- Use the SAVE EXPERIMENT command to save all parameters of the current
- experiment to disk. First you can set or modify the name of the experiment
- by the NAME main menu option, then select the SAVE EXPERIMENT option and
- press <ENTER>.
- Use the LOAD EXPERIMENT command to load the parameters of a saved experiment
- from disk. Select the LOAD EXPERIMENT option and press <ENTER>. This gives
- you a list of the experiment files found in the current directory. Select a
- name and press <ENTER> to load the experiment. <ESC> moves back to main menu
- without loading any file.
-
- Start the simulation
- ______________________
-
- Press <ENTER> to start the simulation, <ESC> to stop it.
- The following keys have special functions during the simulation
-
- <F1> : switch ON/OFF tracing of a randomly selected INVISIBLE particle
- <F2> : switch ON/OFF tracing of a randomly selected GREEN particle
- <F3> : switch ON/OFF tracing of a randomly selected RED particle
- <F4> : switch ON/OFF shot noise
- <F5> : switch ON/OFF mutual collisions of the particles
- <F6> : open/close the door on the separation wall
- <F7> : start a wave
- <Gray +> : switch ON/OFF piston motion inside the container
- <Gray -> : switch ON/OFF piston motion outside the container
- <p> , <P> : temporarily suspend the simulation, continue it by pressing
- any key
- <Esc> : stop the simulation
-
-
- <Esc> stops the simulation and gives you this pop up menu :
- ╔══════════════╗
- ║Continue ║ - Continue the interrupted simulation
- ║Return to menu║ - Moves back to main menu
- ║Diagrams ║ - Lets you manipulate the diagrams, see below
- ║descrIption ║ - Display the documentation file of the current experiment
- ╚══════════════╝
- The DIAGRAMS command gives you the following choices :
- ╔═════════════╗
- ║Save ║ - Save the points of the selected diagram to disk
- ║Load ║ - Display a saved diagram. Gives the list of the diagram
- ║ ║ files in the current directory. Select with <ENTER>.
- ║Change scale ║ - Change the vertical scale with <Gray +> & <Gray ->
- ║Read values ║ - Read the numerical values of the selected diagram.
- ║ ║ Move the vertical bar with the LEFT & RIGHT cursors.
- ║Print ║ - Lets you print the diagram. You can enter any comment
- ╚═════════════╝ at any place of the diagram then press <Shift F10>
- to hide the cursor and <PRTSC> to begin printing.
-
- Set simulation parameters

- ╔═════════════════╗
- ║Container ║ - Size, walls. See below.
- ║Initial position ║ - Specify a rectangle with /<Shift>/ arrows, particles
- ║ ║ are distributed uniformly in this rectangle.
- ║Particles ║ - The cursor moves to the table at the lower right.
- ║ ║ Move inside the table with cursors, <PgUp>, <PgDn>.
- ║ ║ Press <ENTER> to modify a value and type in new val.
- ║ ║ Use cursors to set the gravitational acceleration.
- ║cOllisions ║ - Switch ON/OFF mutual collisions of the particles
- ║Velocity distrib.║ - Set the initial velocity distribution.
- ║Diagrams ║ - Use this to select the number and type of the
- ║ ║ on-line diagrams.
- ║pistoN ║ - Select initial position by cursors and enter speed.
- ║Wave ║ - Select affected volume by cursors and enter speed.
- ║Trace ║ - Trace which particle type, length of the trace tail.
- ║sHot noise ║ - switch ON/OFF the shot noise.
- ╚═════════════════╝
-
- The CONTAINER command gives you the following choices :
-
- ╔═══════════════╗
- ║Size ║ - Specify the size of the container with the cursors.
- ║ ║ Press <ENTER> to accept the current size.
- ║wall with Door ║ - Move the wall with the <RIGHT> and <LEFT> keys.
- ║Color separator║ . Move the upper enge of the slit with <UP> & <DOWN>,
- ║Energ.separator║ . lower edge with <Shift UP> & <Shift DOWN>.
- ║ ║ . Press <ENTER> to accept current site.
- ║dIatherm.wall 1║ - Move the pen (blinking cursor) along the boundary of the
- ║diatHerm wall 2║ . container. The arrow keys move it by pixels or in
- ║Adiabatic wall ║ . larger steps if pressed together with the <Shift> key.
- ╚═══════════════╝ . Press <ENTER> to put the pen UP/DOWN. The pen changes
- . the color of the wall of the container to
- green (diathermic 1), red (diathermic 2), yellow (adiabatic).
- Use <ESC> the accept the wall configuration then enter the temperature
- of the diathermic walls.
