Demonstration Program

A complete list of all the GKS workstation names defined on your current node can be obtained by running the program $STARLINK_DIR/share/examples/gnsrun_gks. After listing all the GKS names along with a short description of each workstation, the program prompts for a workstation name. If one of the names in the list (or any other valid workstation name) is entered, a simple demonstration picture is plotted on the device selected.

A similar program called gnsrun_idi will also be available if the IDI library has been installed on the system.

If running either program produces any unexpected error messages you should report them to your system manager; however, you should not necessarily expect all workstations on the lists to be useable. A device could, for example, be in use by someone else.
