Introduction

 

This chapter is intended for the novice user to get an overview of the main topics of TV and to describe its basic operations. It is started from the commandline with:

$>$ tv&

but since TV writes its output so standard out, you better enter:

$>$ tv $>$ /dev/null 2$>$&1 &

Two windows appear on your screen which are a text window (named tv) for echoing commands and the displaying of results and status information and a graphic window (named tv-root) for displaying the spectra you are working with. Both window types are described in detail in section 3.3 on page and displayed in figure 3.2 on page and figure 3.1 on page .
