GSD2ACSIS

Convert a GSD format DAS data file to an ACSIS format NDF

Description:

Opens a GSD file for reading, and checks the version (currently only supports GSD Version 5.3). The data are converted to ACSIS format and written to disk. Metadata are converted to appropriate FITS headers.

Parameters:

DIRECTORY = _CHAR (Read)
Directory for output ACSIS files. A NULL value will use the current working directory. This command will create a subdir in this directory named after the observation number.
IN = CHAR (Read)
Name of the input GSD file to be converted.
MSG_FILTER = _CHAR (Read)
Control the verbosity of the application. Values can be NONE (no messages), QUIET (minimal messages), NORMAL, VERBOSE, DEBUG or ALL. [NORMAL]
OBSNUM = INT (Read)
Observation number for files prior to Feb 03. For newer observations this parameter is not required. Default value will be the observation number read from the file but prior to Feb 03 this number was the number within the project rather than the number from the night and may lead to name clashes since ACSIS data are numbered for a UT date.
