1. Introduction

The program mar345 is a fully menu driven graphical user interface (GUI) for collecting and displaying images on a mar345 imaging plate system.

The program is provided as binary executable for several computer platforms and operating systems:

−	Silicon Graphics:	IRIX 5.x, 6.x
−	Digital:	Compaq Tru Unix 4.x, 5.x
−	Linux:	RedHat 5.x, 6.x, SuSE 6.x

1.1 Computer Requirements

−8/16/24/32−bit colors X−windows terminal with 1280x1024 pixels.

−Standard Helvetica and Symbol fonts.

−96 MB RAM memory or more.

1.2 Environment

The program relies on definitions of the following environment variables:

−	MARTABLEDIR	Location of the scanner specific calibration files mar2300.XXX
		and mar3450.XXX and the corresponding configuration file
− MAR_SCANNER_NO		config.XXX (where XXX = MAR_SCANNER_NO ).
		Three digit serial number, e.g. 049.
−	MARLOGDIR	Location of the log output files.
−	MARHELPDIR	Location of interactive help files.

The program relies on the correct network setup, i.e. the mar345 scanner must be accessible by ping and telnet with IP−address 192.0.2.1.
