Haugen * ******************************* * Feb 2, 1995 * ******************************* Welcome to the StatDesign AFM and MER Tutorial. The purpose of this tutorial is to give a new AFM user a practical under- standing of AFM. While some background information will be provided from time to time, the main effort will be applied towards developing AFM related knowledge as quickly as possible. Additional information of specific keywords and junctions are available in other AFM and MER documents. This tutorial is broken into three major sections: 1) Background information on StatDesign and AFM historical information. 2) The step-by-step AFM tutorial. 3) The step-by-step MER tutorial. Background information a About StatDesign b AFM background information c MER background information d The relationship between AFM and MER e Disclaimers AFM a Prerequisites b Introduction and conventions c Basic concepts d Introduction to variable declaration and use e Error messages f Introduction to embedded calculations g Prompting for user input h Calling nested AFM files i AFM statements and functions j Array k Point variables and vector operations l Directing output to the screen m Directing output to specific files and multiple files Formatting output Program logic control Reading data from a file Creating your own AFM application r Debugging tips Obtaining more detailed help As a review: An overview of AdamsPre MER a Prerequisites b Introduction and conventions The simplest of MER files The WORKSPACE section The DESIGN section The VERIFY section The NOISE section Calling AFM from MER AFM variables in a MER file
