Uses hardware to Tuner/Filter/Decimate from/to files
<pre>
<device name> PIC alias in HW file (i.e. PIC, PIC1, PIC2, ...)
<infile> File of archived data to run through tuners
<outfile> Output file name (or prefix for multi)
<bandwidth> Tuner bandwidth in Hz
<freq> Tuner center frequency in Hz
<gain> Tuner gain in dB
<format> Output format (SI|CI)
<listfile> List file for multi-channel tuning

Uses device resources to Tuner/Filter/Decimate one or more signals
from a file on disk. Output format is SI or CI.

If <listfile> is specified, multiple signals can be extracted from the
input in a single call. The macro will use as many tuners per pass as
possible and keep executing passes until the list is completed.

If <listfile> is not used, all other parameters must be specified.
The parameter defaults are record names for the listfile.

In list mode, the <outfile> <bandwidth> <freq> <gain> and <format> parameters
can be retrieved from the type 3000 list file on a signal by signal basis
or specified directly to be applied to all signals in the list. To get
the parameter from the file, specify the record name preceded by a tilde.

For example, to tune 5 signals with different freq and bandwidths:

PICTUNER pic1 datafile tunfile_ ~BW ~FREQ 0 SI mylist

where mylist is a 3000 file with the subrecords BW and FREQ.

FREQ BW NAME JJ index
1000000 10000 SIGNAL_A -3 1
1010000 10000 SIGNAL_B 6 2
1020000 10000 SIGNAL_X 0 3
1030000 10000 SIGNAL_CC 0 4
1100000 50000 SIGNAL_T 0 5

In this case, the NAME field is ignored and the name is constructed by
appending the index to tunefile_ (tunfile_1, tunfile_2 ...)

To use the NAME field for the filename, as well as JJ for the gain:

PICTUNER pic1 datafile ~NAME ~BW ~FREQ ~JJ SI mylist

In this list case, the index is NOT appended to the name in the file.

If <bandwidth> is the same for all channels, it should be specified on the
command line so the macro can use more tuners per pass on the hardware.
This could be up to 4 times faster.

Switches:

/GEN - generate a default list and throw it up in an editor
/PBRATE=n - set playback rate to n MHz
/ECHO - echo parameters used for each file
