INTRODUCTION The purpose of this document is to walk first time users through the WPL program. The WPL software must be installed before the starting this example (see read.me for instructions). The following conventions are used in this document: - All keys to be typed in by the user are surrounded in quotes; i.e. "Enter". If the "Alt", "Shift", or "Ctrl" keys are to be pressed with a key, it is indicated like "Alt F". - Strings to type are surrounded with single quotes: i.e. `heart.byt'. - Check marks are indicated by _/. In WPL, they are displayed with the square rooot character. - The Go Away button which is displayed on the top left of windows is indicated by the -^- character. This button is equivalent to pressing the "Esc" key. - Entries in pull down windows are indicated with | symbols seperating the individual menu entry selections; i.e., FILE|OPEN|SIGNAL. - All descriptions of edit, directory, or selection windows are preceded by the associated menu which appears at the top of the screen. - Menu entries can alternatively be selected by typing the highlighted letters. The only exception to this rule is that the top main menu entries (FILE...) and menu entries for edit window require that the "Alt" key also be pressed. For example, FILE from the main menu is selected by pressing "Alt F" 2. STARTING UP WPL WPL is started by typing "WPL" from the \WPL directory. C:\>cd \wpl C:\WPL>wpl A disclaimer is displayed on the screen. After reading this screen, press the "Enter key". The Startup Main MENU is then displayed on top of the screen. Main MENU: FILE SYSTEM 3. LOADING AN ASCII SIGNAL FILE 3.1. Getting into the Open Signal Menu Choose File|Open|Signal with the mouse or type "Alt F" and "I".

Select the trace to be transformed Notice that WPT menu contains the entry `Mark Upper Trace': WPT MENU: Mark Upper Trace ALL PARAMETERS Press the "Enter" key and the menu at the top of the screen will change to: WPT MENU: Mark Lower Trace ALL PARAMETERS Press the "Enter" key. The system will pause for a few seconds while it is creating the tableau of transform traces. When the system comes back, a tableau of 9 traces will have been inserted in the signal. The first 8 traces are transform traces and the last trace is a basis (a disjoint cover of the tableau). One of the transforms (L4) will be drawn in a different color from the rest of the transform traces. This is the Best Level and it is labeled with a BL4. The basis is the Best Basis and it is labeled with a BBAS. There are a number of vertical lines on each transform traces. These lines show how the transform traces is segmented. If there a large number of segment lines on level 1 and the number of segments are halved for each following transform trace, then the tableau is being viewed in a POSITION DOMINANT format. L1 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | L2 | | | | | | | | | L3 | | | | | L4 | | | POSITION DOMINANT If there is only one segment line in the middle of level 1 and the number of segments are doubled for each following transform trace, then the tableau is being viewed in a FREQUENCY DOMINANT format. L1 | | | L2 | | | | | L3 | | | | | | | | | L4 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | FREQUENCY DOMINANT Note: the Frequency Dominant is required for selecting coefficients of a basis, so this mode is automatically displayed when selecting bases. 5.3. Move the tableau of transform traces to the top of the screen Shift this trace to the top of the screen by: clicking 7 times on the DOWN ARROW character of the vertical scrollbar or pressing on the "Ctrl UpArrow" key 7 times 6. VIEWING THE PHASE PLANE DISPLAY OF THE BEST BASIS ------------------------------------------------- 6.1. Move the cursor to the best basis trace Click on the trace labeled BBAS or press the "Down Arrow" key 9 times. 6.2.

The following menu will appear at the time of the screen: Phase Plane Display MENU: TOGGLE SUBSETS OPTIONS F12DONE The upper right portion of the screen contains the phase plane where rectangles are drawn whose: - x position depends upon increasing positions left to right - x size depends upon the level - y position depends upon increasing frequencies - y size depends upon the inverse of the level - color depends upon the amplitude The phase plane is scaled up to a 512 x 512 rectangle. Initially, only the bottom half of the phase (containing the lower frequencies) is displayed. A color scale showing the correspondence of colors to amplitudes is displayed on the left side of the screen. The numeric cursor, Trace Energy, Subset Energy, and Compression Ratio are always displayed on the bottom of the window. The numeric cursor information looks like: Cursor: L6 F0 P0 C10 N-1.02E3 where: F0 = Frequency 0 P0 = Position 0 C10 = The coefficient or amplitude is 10 N-1.02E3 = The entropy of this frequency The following keys are now valid: Up Arrow -- Move the cursor up Down Arrow -- Move the cursor down Left Arrow -- Move the cursor Left Right Arrow -- Move the cursor Right Page Up -- Display the upper half of the phase plane Page Down -- Display the lower half of the phase plane ESC -- Go back to the Select Transform MENU F12 -- Go back to the Select Transform MENU T -- Toggle the coefficient on or off as a subset O, L -- Turn on/off the log scaling the coefficients (default ON) 0, B -- Bring up an edit window to change the base of the log scaling Look at the entire phase plane by pressing "Page Up" and "Page Down". 7.
