To find this value load the <TT>ORDREF</TT> on the display using <TT>LOAD/IMAGE</TT> and use for example the commands <TT>GET/CURSOR</TT> or <TT>EXTRACT/TRACE</TT> and <TT>PLOT/IMAGE TRACE</TT>. A superior method which will be needed later in the reduction any way is to extract a column and to produce a plot on the hardcopy device. Let <TT>x</TT> be a column somewhere in the middle of the frame. The following sequence of commands will do the job: <BLOCKQUOTE> <TT>SET/PLOT BIN=ON <BR> PLOT/COL ima @x <BR> SEND/PLOT ps2usr0</TT></BLOCKQUOTE> <P> The default method for <TT>DEFINE/ECHELLE</TT> is <TT>STD</TT>. However, it happens that the order definition procedure mixes order and inter-order: this is likely to occur in the blue where the order spacing becomes less than the width of each order. Set the parameter <TT>DEFMTD=COM</TT> <P> <BR><HR> <ADDRESS> <I>Petra Nass</I> <BR><I>1999-06-15</I> </ADDRESS> </BODY> </HTML>
