defineobs is a gui
application
for creating or modifying observation definition files.
USAGE
defineobs
[observset]
INPUT
observset.obsdef is an
existing observation definition file
OUTPUT
observset.obsdef
a new observation
definition file
PARAMETERS
none
Details:
Defineobs may be invoked with the name of an existing observation
definition
file, if one is to be modified, or with no filename. A gui window is
opened:
The "Mask", "Dewar Offset File", and "Grating Angle" boxes take typed
input.
The other boxes display menu selection when the left mouse button is
clicked.
The entries should be filled-in or modified from the top down: the
choices
for "Camera" depend on the setting for "Instrument", and the grating
parameters depend on the settings for "Camera" and "Mode". Note that
there are two IMACS choices under "Instrument": "IMACS" for data taken
before August 01, 2005, when chip 6 of the SITE dewar was changed, and
"IMACS2" for later data.
If saving a file with the same name as an existing observation
definition
file, the existing file filename.obsdef
is moved to filename.obsdef%
before writing the new file.
