Execution of OASM

As for the other OASES modules, filenames are passed to OASM via environmental parameters. In Unix systems a typical command file mfp (in $HOME/oases/bin) is:

    #                            the number sign invokes the C-shell 
    setenv FOR001 $1.dat       # input file 
    setenv FOR013 $2.rpo       # signal replicas
    setenv FOR015 $3.xsm       # covariance matrices
    setenv FOR019 $3.plp       # plot parameter file
    setenv FOR020 $3.plt       # plot data file  
    setenv FOR028 $3.cdr       # contour plot parameter file 
    setenv FOR029 $3.bdr       # contour plot data file 
    mfp2_bin

After preparing a data file with the name input.dat, mfp is executed by the command:

mfp input repinput covinput

The files repinput and covinput are the input replica and covariance matrix files, respectively. These files must be written in the formats described in Sec. 11.4.2 and Sec. 11.4.1, respectively. The file headers are checked for consistency with the input file in terms of frequencies, replica space and number of sensors in the array. The element positions in the array do not have to be consistent, allowing for simulation of array geometry mismatch.
