Ginga Specific Software: Program BGDFIND



Purpose

Program bgdfind returns a list of Ginga background data files found on the current directory.


Input Files

A Ginga CUBE or TIME series for which it is desired to generate a corresponding background file (using the program bgdsim). Any number of Ginga data files containing background data.


Input Parameters

Bgdfind requires five input parameters. The QX parameter system is used to read these parameters.

BGD_FILESPEC Specification of the input data file(s) containing background data (including wild cards).
BGD_STARTDATE Start time of the required background period. Prefix with the letter G (Gregorian date) or M (Modified Julian Date). The date should be in the form Gyy mm dd hh mm ss mmm. Any ommited fields will be set to zero, so G87 4 23 3 10 would be interpreted as 87/4/23 3:10:00.000.
BGD_STOPDATE Stop time of the required background period.
BGD_SRCE The name of the input data file for which it is desired to generate a corresponding background file.
BGD_KEEP Controls whether the unused background data file(s) are deleted. The default is Yes, in which case the unused file(s) are kept. Answering No will delete the unused file(s).


Output Parameters

Bgdfind returns two output parameters. The QX parameter system is used to display these parameters.

BGD_NFILE The number of background data file(s) satisfying the input requirements.
BGD_DATIN The names of the background data file(s) satisfying the input requirements.
