Examples for PTC_TRACK_RUN are tested under Linux
Run: "madxp < FV9_*.madx" with appropriate number instead of *
For the observation point 1 at START of ring,
the graphical output created by the MADX command <plot> is written to
fv9_*_START.ps (we also converted into PDF files fv9_*_START.pdf);
Also, graphical output can be created with another plotting program.
Commands for running "GNUPLOT ver.4 for LINUX" in a batch mode are
collected in the script (*.plt) files.
Results are in appropriate subdirectories, namely
no_1, no_4, or observ1, observ2, ....
Plots can be also drawn under Windows using "GNUPLOT ver.4.0 for Windows"
(http://www.gnuplot.info/download.html).
The script files should be slightly corrected.
For example, a terminal type in all "set terminal" commands must be changed
from "x11" to "windows" and etc.

EXAMPLE 1: Multiturn tracking using PTC for the turn-by-turn tracking
Input file: FV9_1.madx
Input in standard coordinates; 6 particles;
icase=4; closed_orbit; turns=1000;
Output in standard_coordinates
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
EXAMPLE 2: Multiturn tracking with PTC as in Example 1
using Normal Forms for a conversion
the output coordinates to normalized ones
Input file: FV9_2.madx
Input in standard coordinates; 6 particles;
icase=4; closed_orbit; turns=1000; norm_no=1;
Output in normalized coordinates
Parameter <norm_no> defines the order of Normal Forms
The linear normalization (norm_no=1) gives an idea of the
resonance order.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
EXAMPLE 3: Multiturn tracking with PTC as in Example 2 using
different orders of Normal Forms utilized for
a conversion the output coordinates to normalized ones.
Input file: FV9_3.madx
Input in standard coordinates; 4 particles;
icase=4; closed_orbit; turns=1000; no=1,4,8;
Output in normalized coordinates
One can compare the plots with different order of Normal Forms.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
EXAMPLE 4: Multiturn tracking using PTC for element-by-element tracking
with the data outputs at several observation points
Input file: FV9_4.madx
Input in standard coordinates; 3 particles;
icase=4; closed_orbit; turns=1000;
Output in standard_coordinates
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
EXAMPLE 5: Multiturn tracking using PTC for turn-by-turn tracking
with the data outputs at several observation points
Input file: FV9_5.madx
Input in standard coordinates; 3 particles;
icase=4; closed_orbit; turns=1000;
Output in standard_coordinates
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
EXAMPLE 6: Comparison of results for Examples 4 and 5, i.e
for the turn-by-turn and the element-by-element tracking.
