Description:
pltbol (or any
p
link
to
scuplot) is a wrapper around the
Kappa utility
linplotand facilitates data inspection. It allows plots
of a whole series of bolometers one by one, optionally overlaying them with the same bolometer from
a second file. Obvious overlays are despiked on non-despiked data or data from different exposures to
check the noise.
The menu items are:
| [M. H] | Redisplay menu |
| [Q] | Quit |
| [N] | Next bolometer |
| [B#] | Switch to bol # |
| [X min max], [X cen] | X-axis from min:max or cen+/-10 |
| | Just ‘x’ activates the cursor. |
| [R] | Reset X-axis |
| [Y min max], [Y lim] | Y-axis from min:max or -lim:+lim |
| [U] | Reset Y-axis |
| Option | |
| |
Note that a X center defined with the cursor or [X cen] defaults to a 20 points window around cen, the
position of the spike. Using the CURSOR, the Left Mouse button always defines the point, the Right
Mouse button exits the cursor task while accepting the last point clicked.
Usage:
pltbol [-f
sdf_file] [-d sdf_file2] [-s min max] [bol [bol [bol] ...]]
Parameters:
-h[elp]
Print the help
information.
-f file
name of NDF file (.sdf may be included in the name).
-d file2
name of a
second file: e.g. the despiked version of the NDF file. The same bolometers will be plotted in
a second window or overlaid for comparison.
-s min max
Y-axis scales for plot (can
be changed via menu).
bol
list of bolometers to plot. Type ‘all’ for 1..37 and ‘alls’ for
1..91. Can be added via menu if mode = ‘r’.
Examples:
pltbol
The user will be asked
for an input file before proceeding to the menu. pltbol -f o39_lon_ext
Plot bolometers
from o39_lon_ext.sdf and ask for the bolometer list. pltbol -f s14_lon_ext 12 13 18 20
25 26 19
Use file s14_lon_ext.sdf. Plot bolometers 12,13, 18, 20, 25, 26 and 19. Notes:

Freezes when asked to plot a bad bolometer.
