Ginga Specific Software: Program CATGET
Program catget obtains a time interval from the user in
either Gregorian or Modified Julian Date and interrogates a specified
series of catalogues, extracting records which are in the time
interval. These are written to a catalogue named by the user. The
catalogues to be interrogated are defaulted to all those known, unless
overridden outside the program or on the command line.
Specified series of catalogue files.
A catalogue file containing records within the user specified time
interval. The catalogue is a text file with fixed length (132 byte)
records, containing a list of FRF names. It is thus possible to edit
the catalogue using any available text editor.
Catget requires four input parameters. The QX parameter
system is used to read these parameters.
| GINCAT | The name of the catalogue
produced. |
|
| START_TIME | The time from which records
are wanted. |
|
| STOP_TIME | The last time for which
records are wanted. |
|
| CATSEARCH | List of catalogues to search
(the default is $XAOBS/*.cat). |
Catget returns three output parameters. The QX parameter
system is used to display these parameters.
| GINCAT | The name of the catalogue
produced. |
|
| | START_TIME | The time from which records
were wanted. |
|
| | STOP_TIME | The last time for which
records were wanted. |
