The software program MAWST was developed as a tool to deal with common materials accounting problems. The key to successful usage of this program is in the generation of input files for measurement values, measurement errors, and measurement methods. The program MFG was developed as an aid to creating input files for MAWST. MFG contains three commonly used measurements-nondestructive assay, (G-T)*C, and V*C.-and a GENERIC measurement as models for data entry for the measurement value file. Sufficient data is collected from the user to produce the measurement error and measurement method files. This report is written as a tutorial presenting and explaining all the options available in MFG by giving examples of execution and the resulting screens that MFG produces. The program MFG was developed as an aid to creating input files for the materials accounting software program MAWST. _ This report assumes that the user is familiar with the MAWST concepts of error propagation and the forms in which a material balance item is coded intc the MAWST input files. MFG contains three commonly used measurements-NDA, (G-T)*C, and V'C-and a GENERIC measurement. Therefore, for example, if a materials control and accounting plan involves 50 NDA inventory measurements, the user can input all 50 NDA measurements with minimal data entry. This document is written as a tutorial presenting and explaining all the options available in MFG by giving examples of execution and the resulting screens that MFG produces. The program runs on a personal computer (IBM-type) and is executed by typing MFG followed by a CARRIAGE RETURN (CR) or ENTER. The reader should execute MFG and follow the examples in the tutorial. The first screen presented to the user is the MAIN MENU shown on Screen 1. (All screens can be found at the end of the text starting on page 6.) Three options are available to the user. Note that the only keys that are allowed for this screen are 0, 1,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
