1.2.1 Displaying a Light Curve Set of all Instruments (PLOTY)

PLOTY is a crude method to plot the light curves from all of the Yohkoh instruments on the same plot and the same time axis. If you have the observing log on-line and wish to use it to make the plots, you can specify the plot times. It is recommended not to plot more than approximately 24 hours of data at a time. An example is:
IDL> ploty, '8-may-92 15:00', '8-may-92 18:40'
 
IDL> ploty, '8-may-92 15:00', '8-may-92 18:40', /zoom, /big

Fig. 1 is an example of the plot which can be produced. Note that the BCS counting rates drop to zero at around 22:37 because they become saturated. The format for the plots of this program might change in the future, but the capability to plot data from several instruments with the same time axes will remain.
