Producing plots and xy-files


ERROR messages

Sometimes the error-message Bus Error or Memory Error - core dumped appear while running BS-PLO.

There are two frequent sources to create these errors:

1: If one uses the output of racah to plot with old_racah ni2.rac_out and one uses a symmetry lower than cubic, there is a mistake in the plotting programme. The plotting program is reading the output of TT-RAC and cannot find the information it needs. This can be solved by making small changes to the output. By changing "-)" to "- )" throughout the file ni2.rac_out, the error should disappear.
This error does not occur for output of TT-BAN.

2: In general, if a spectrum contains zero intensity, the programme stops with a floating point error. This occurs also if one calculates an MCD spectrum and the negative axis is larger than the positive axis.
