[HOW TO CREATE ICD.PDF]

1. How to create eps files

   Interface parameter lists are created in Excel and converted
   to eps using VBA (IP-table2.xls and IP-table3.xls). 

   Before starting the VBA, an eps printer should be set up.
   In the control panel, choose "Printers and Faxes" and
   Add a printer > Local printer > LPT1
   and then choose one of the ps printers listed there.
   Name the printer as "For_EPS" and you are ready to start.
   (Other setups are defined in the VBA code.)
   
   Create a folder under the C drive, name it "ICD" and put
   the following files in the folder:
   IP-table2.xls
   IP-table3.xls
   iplist.txt
   constlist.txt.

   Open the Excel files and run the macro "test" then figure
   files will be created in the ICD folder.

2. How to update the list file

   Tabs and "%" should be correctly used in iplist.txt and
   constlist.txt otherwise the table will not show up right.
   The first line shall be blank. After the second line,
   the first terms are the name of the parameter and should
   start with "ip." which will be erased in the table.
   The second terms are values. The third terms are units
   and should start with a letter "%". Use the MKS system.
   The 4th terms are the description. The last terms indicate
   the related LCGT subsystems in 3-letter codes. The first
   one is the responsible subsystem for the parameter in
   iplist.txt (not in constlist.txt). And each term should 
   be separated by a tab.

3. Scope list

   All the LCGT components are listed in the subfolder "sub"
   with being categorized to a few groups. The components
   are distributed to the subsystems and is listed in the 
   subfolder "sub2." A letter "&" or "\\" should be followed
   after each component. The 3n-th lines should be followed
   by "\\" and the 3n+1 or 3n+2 -th lines should be followed
   by "&."

4. Complie the tex file

   At last, complie the icd.tex and create the pdf file.
