Level 2 Help for FITSIN
INP
A FITS formatted data file on tape or disk.
OUT
A Vicar formatted output image filename. Output can be 'BYTE', 'HALF', 'FULL'
or 'REAL' depending on FITS format or the FITSIN parameter "DATA="
HEADER
An output file containing FITS label information in ASCII 80 byte fixed
length records.
DATA
STRING-OPTIONAL
Data format to pass to VICAR image. Default is "FITS" tape format which
can be 'BYTE', 'HALF', 'FULL' or 'REAL'.
If "TRUE" then will pass R*4 format data to VICAR using FITS parameters
BSCALE and BZERO keywords in FITS labels based on the formula
"TRUE" = (FITS*BSCALE)+BZERO.
If DATA is set to "TRUE" and no BSCALE or BZERO values are not found then
the program will warn you, but will create an output data set of type
real*4 by using the default settings of BSCALE=1.0 and BZERO=0.0.
When DATA=TRUE output file will always be 'REAL'.
Use U16 to transform unsigned FITS data into unsigned VICAR FULL data since
VICAR uses 16-bit signed data.
FITS/TRUE/U16
DEFAULT="FITS"
BLOCK
STRING-OPTIONAL
FITS image tape is blocked/not blocked,
BLOCK/NOBLOCK
DEFAULT=BLOCK
FACTOR
INTEGER-OPTIONAL
Blocking factor when BLOCK=BLOCK is selected. Maximum permitted value is 10.
Must be integer.
Find Blocking factor from MIPL TAPES utility.
DEFAULT=1
PASS
STRING-OPTIONAL
Pass to VICAR history label the FITS label records beginning
with PASS="FITS KEYWORD". Normally this is done after a tape scan.
"BSCALE =", "BZERO =", "BUNIT =", "OBJECT =", "COMMENT =" and "DATE ="
keywords will always be passed to the VICAR label even if found before the
FITS keyword you choose for PASS=.
DEFAULT=-- (All FITS labels)
EXCISE
STRING-OPTIONAL
Don't pass to VICAR history label the FITS label records beginning
with EXCISE="FITS KEYWORD". This gives you the option of eliminating other
less helpful FITS keywords. Normally this is done after a tape scan.
Up to 10 keywords may be excised in addition to those specified with the
COMMENT, HISTORY, and NULL keywords.
COMMENT
