Description:
PISA2CAT
converts PISAFIND and PISAPEAK results files into catalogues. The output catalogues can be used by
CURSA or CATPAC applications.
Usage:
pisa2cat datatype data cat
Parameters:
DATATYPE =
LITERAL (Read)
The type of PISA data. Either FIND, SIZE or PEAK. FIND indicates that
the input data is a results file produced by PISAFIND (RESULTS parameter) and that it
contains the main object parameterisations (ie. position, total intensity, peak intensity etc. ).
SIZE indicates that the input file is a results file from PISAFIND, but which contains the
pixel sums within different intensity thresholds (from the SIZES parameter). Finally PEAK
indicates that the input is a results file from the PISAPEAK routine. [FIND]
DATA =
FILENAME (Read)
Name of the file containing the PISA results to be converted into a catalogue.
[PISAFIND.DAT]
CAT = FILENAME (Write)
Name of the output catalogue. [FIND]
Examples:
pisa2cat find pisafind.dat find
This example converts the results file containing the object
parameterisations from PISAFIND to FITS table format. It writes the results to the file find.FIT
pisa2cat peak pisapeak.dat peak.sdf
This example converts the output from a run of
PISAPEAK into an HDS catalogue that can be used with the CATPAC applications. Notes:
Column_names
The column names used in the output
catalogues are.
