RLINPLOT

Interactive display

Description:

rlinplot (or any r∗ link to scuplot) is a wrapper around the Kappa utility mlinplot and facilitates data inspection. It provides plots of sets of bolometers in a single window with optionally data from a second file in a second window. Obvious files are despiked and 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(s)
 [Y min max], [Y lim] Y-axis from min:max or -lim:+lim
 [U] Reset Y-axis
Option >

Usage:

rlinplot [-f sdf_file] [-d sdf_file2] [-s min max] [-l #] [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).
-l #
number of bolometers per window
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:

rlinplot
The user will be asked for an input file before proceeding to the menu.
rlinplot -f o39_lon_ext
Plot bolometers from o39_lon_ext.sdf and ask for a bolometer list.
rlinplot -f o39_lon_ext -l 5
Plot 5 bolometers at a time.
rlinplot -f o39_lon_ext 6 5 8 20
Plot bolometers 5 6 8 and 20.
