PROCESS_FITS

Category B

Version 3.0A2

Description

This program

  • reads a FITS image file
  • extracts relevant information from the header
  • adds a record to the make_sumfiles.in file

  • adds a raw 8- or 16- bit image to the IMAGEFILES directory

The 12-character picture name consists of a one-character camera identifier, a 9-character ephemeris time, and a two-character filter identifier.

The data stored in each image file contained in the IMAGEFILES directory is an unsigned integer (14 bits), with the exclusion of values less than 0. Acceptable values are from 0 to 32767.

If the source is a real (or 32-bit float) value process_fits takes the original images' data float and calculates the maximum value. Then it scales the data to spread from 0 to 32767 to maximize the accuracy of the stored data.

Required Files

  • FITS image file - You provide the name as part of the standard input.

Outputs


Using process_fits

Here is a sample of the standard input:
