First, the desired wavelength must be given. Here, the wavelengths are shown for selection, which the program found in cope.cfg:

  please select wavelength: 
  
     ( 1)   0535 nm
     ( 2)   0550 nm
     ( 3)   0659 nm
     ( 4)   0865 nm
     ( 5)   1600 nm
     ( 6)   3700 nm

 ?
The next question is about the tilt angle:
  please select tilt angle: 
  
    
     ( 1)   00
     ( 2)   01
     ( 3)   30
     ( 4)   90
 
 ?

Now, the desired type of size distribution must be given:

  please decide which kind of size distribution you want to use:
  

  (1) Heymsfield and Platt (1984)
  (2) Liou (1989)
  (3) own number densities
  (4) read number densities from file "numin"
  
 ?

The results of this program are stored in the directory dat/sums. The last question asks for the name of the output files:

  Please enter name of outputfile without path and extension (max. 10
  char.)

This produces an output file, for instance dat/sums/test.cs.
