 Figure 4-8.  SIO Count Study Control Parameters

The parameters for the Presentation Graphics screen shown in
Figure 4-8 are defined below:

Report       The title that appears on the Presentation
title:       Graphics reports.

Input file:  The CHN resource element file that was
             originally defined in the extended example in
             Section 3.3.3.1 of this guide.

Start date:  The start date for date range selection.  Since
             neither start date nor number of months is
             specified for this analysis, no date range
             selection is applied to the historical
             observations from the CHN resource element file.

SYSID:       The historical observations for SYSID TSO1 only.

Zone:        The Zone, Hour, or Dayname to be included in the
             analysis.

No. months   The maximum number of months that will be
             included in the analysis.

Specify      The specification for CAPAPU.  The CHN resource
CAPAPU       element file was not defined as containing the
value:       CAPAPU data element, so no CAPAPU value may be
             specified on the CAPAPU Selection Values screen.

Data         The name of the data element (CHAN5CNT) in the
element:     capacity planning resource file which contains
             SIO counts for channel 5.

Previous     The date of any previous forecast.  In this
forecast     case, there are no previous forecasts, so the
date:        entry is left blank.

Y-Axis       The label for the Y-axis.  For this example, the
label:       label is SIO COUNT.

Plot type:   The specification for the type of plot.  PRINTER
             is selected for the line printer plot.

Include      The specification to include information
Worksheets:  produced through the use of the Capacity Planner
             Worksheet Facility.

Specify      Type a Y in this field to enter the extended
extended     options menu, shown in Figure 4-9.
