defineobs

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:
defineobs gui
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 the grating parameters depend on the settings for "Camera" and "Mode". 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.
