Ploterps plots ERP data on the graphics device plot_device in a manner controlled by the ploterps commands contained in the ASCII commandfile (if present) or the command line options. If commandfile is "none", no explicit commands will be needed and plots will be generated via command line arguments alone, as discussed here. Detailed information on using ploterps with a command file can be found in the document "PLOTERPS Tutorial and Manual". To plot data with ploterps without using a command file, "none" must be specified as the commandfile, and the -files and -bins options must be specified. Note that the order of appearance of these options in the command line option list determines the method of plotting, as described below under the -files option. Various parameters controlling the format of the plot are set to default values, unless otherwise specified via additional command line option(s). The default parameters for this mode cause the plots to be drawn negative "up", with 5 uV calibration markers.
Some typical plotting devices are (the complete list can be found in /usr/local/erp/lib/graphicdevs):
