Instructions to convert a MAP file to other formats

Convert to FITS

Use the AltWG toolset to get the proper format

Maplet2FITS --configFile fitsConfig_orex_spc.ini RAD201.MAP RAD201-fullv1.fits

An example ini file can be found here fitsConfig_spc.ini.
Notes from Ray Espiritu on 5 May 2020 about the ini file "It may look familiar as it has the same format as the nft config files you send me for generating MLNs. Format is KEYWORD#value. Notice that “//” denotes comment lines. This does not allow you to add custom keywords; the keyword has to exactly match a keyword that is normally populated in the fits header."
There will still be some header information you will want to change. For this use ChangeFitsHeader, also part of the AltWG distribution toolset.
More notes from Ray Espiritu on 5 May 2020 for "This tool allows you to add,delete, or modify keywords in the header. Run “ChangeFitsHeader –examples” to see examples for each operation (add, delete, modify, change). There is a limitation inherent in the fits format in that the new fits header cannot have a size difference of more than 2880 bytes from the old fits header. You shouldn’t encounter that if you are adding or deleting a handful of keywords.
