PP is menu-driven, with the menus being machine-independent. The program is executed directly without any parameters or switches by issuing the command pp, prompting with the menu:

SELECT OPTION: 1
File name: ? input.trf
The first option selected is 1 to specify the file name, here a file input.trf containing transfer functions produced by OASP or another compatible code. PP now reads the header of the file and displays the frequency interval, the default source type (the source types 1-5 are those given in the SAFARI manual [4]) and the center frequency specified in the OASP data file. Any of these parameters may now be changed if desired. The plot options (field 7) can be specified in the format described in Sec.17.1, and similarly for the contour options (field 8) in Sec.17.2.
