1 DISMOUNT DISMOUNT Logically dismount the tape. The tape is not unloaded by this command. 1 HEADER HEADER [Filename] Without argument, list the next header on tape. The tape is left at the end of the file, ready to read the next header, or may be it is left at the beginning of the current file, ready to process the same file header again, I can't remember. With an argument, list the header for the specified FITS file. 1 IMAGE [FITS\]IMAGE Name Define the GILDAS file to be used for the next READ or WRITE commands. 1 INIT INIT Initialize the tape without any label (standard FITS tape). 1 Language FITS\ Language Summary FITS to GILDAS image data format translator This program converts GILDAS images on disk to FITS files on tape or on disk, and vice versa. Switching from tape to disk mode is done using command FILE, while switching from disk to tape mode is done using command MOUNT. DISMOUNT : Logically dismounts the tape INIT : Initializes the tape HEADER : Lists the next header IMAGE Name : Defines the file name for the next READ or WRITE. LIST [Keyword] : List headers of all files from current position MOUNT : Logically mounts the tape READ : Reads the current file to create a new GDF image REWIND : Rewinds the tape SKIP N : Skips N files on tape SET Arg : Customize the GFITS reading program. WRITE : Writes the current image at end of tape. 1 LIST LIST [Keyword] List headers of all files from current position. If a Keyword is specified, only this keyword will be listed. The list can be aborted by <^C>, but I am not quite sure about what the tape position will be after such an horrible action... 1 MOUNT MOUNT [Device:] Logically mount the tape on the specified tape drive, or by default the one indicated by the logical name TAPE_DEVICE. This must be done once for each tape before any other command (included INIT). 1 READ READ [Filename] [/BLC Bx [By [Bz[ Bt]]]] [/TRC Tx [Ty [Tz [Tt]]]] Without argument, read from tape the current FITS file to create a new GDF image. Options /BRC and /TRC can be used to select a subset of the input FITS image only. With argument, read from the specified FITS file. 2 /BLC Define the bottom left corner of the input FITS file to be considered. Bx By Bz Bt indicates the pixel coordinates of this bottom left corner. Trailing arguments (if the image has less than 4 dimensions) can be omitted, and 0 means 1. 2 /TRC Define the top right corner of the input FITS file to be considered. Tx Ty Tz Tt indicates the pixel coordinates of this top right corner. Trailing arguments (if the image has less than 4 dimensions) can be omitted, and 0 means the actual dimension. 1 REWIND REWIND Rewind the tape 1 SET SET Argument Value Define some FITS program parameters. 2 BLANKING SET BLANKING Breal Indicates the blanking value to be used. 2 BLOCKING SET BLOCKING Factor Indicates the desired tape blocking factor (for GILDAS to FITS tape only). Factor is an integer number from 1 to 10. 2 NBITS SET NBITS Value Indicates the desired number of bits. Valid values are 16, 32, and -32 for IEEE real numbers. 2 NOPROMPT SET PROMPT or SET NOPROMPT To indicate wether non standard FITS keywords require user input for interpretation or not. 2 PROMPT SET PROMPT or SET NOPROMPT To indicate wether non standard FITS keywords require user input for interpretation or not. 2 STYLE STYLE Arg Define the FITS "Style" of the tape. FITS has unfortunately many "styles" because the keywords are not fully normalized. This program recognizes automatically some keywords but for some cases the "style" must be specified either to obtain a proper GILDAS image header from the FITS tape, or to write the appropriate FITS format (e.g. UVFITS). - STANDARD Normal FITS tape - CPC Chopped Photometric Channel from the IRAS satellite. Images are 3-D with 1 plane for each band, and the projection system is almost a RADIO one (but not quite exactly). For FITS to GILDAS only. - SPLINE Spline maps from the IRAS satellite. Projection system is GNOMONIC (but not with standard keywords), and in addition the correct calibration is applied according to the note by Francois Boulanger. For FITS to GILDAS only. - UVFITS UV FITS tape. 1 SKIP SKIP N Skip N files on tape. N can be positive or negative. N = * can be used to go at the logical end of tape. 1 WRITE [FITS\]WRITE [Filename] Without argument, write the current image (as defined by command IMAGE) to the output tape. The tape is moved to end of tape before writing. With argument, create a disk FITS file with the specified name. 1 END
