NAME
ccdhedit -- CCD image header editor
.ih
USAGE
ccdhedit images parameter value
.ih
PARAMETERS
.ls images
List of CCD images to be edited.
.le
.ls parameter
Image header parameter. The image header parameter will be translated by
the header translation file for the images.
.le
.ls value
The parameter value. If the null string ("") is specified then the
parameter is deleted from the image header, otherwise it is added or
modified. If the parameter is "imagetyp" then the value string giving
the CCD image type is translated from the package CCD type to the
instrument specific string.
.le
.ls type = "string"
The parameter type. The parameter types are "string", "real", or "integer".
.le
.ih
DESCRIPTION
The image headers of the specified CCD images are edited to add, modify,
or delete a parameter. The parameters may be those used by the \fBccdred\fR
package. The parameter name is translated to an image header parameter by the
instrument translation file (see \fBinstruments\fR) if a translation is
given. Otherwise the parameter is that in the image header. If the parameter
is "imagetyp" the parameter value for the CCD image type may be that
used by the package; i.e. dark, object, flat, etc. The value string will be
translated to the instrument image string in this case. The translation
facility allows use of this task in an instrument independent way.
The value string is used to determine whether to delete or modify the
image parameter. If the null string, "", is given the specified parameter
is deleted. If parameters are added the header type must be specified
as a string, real, or integer parameter. The numeric types convert the
value string to a number.
.ih
EXAMPLES
The \fBccdred\fR package is usable even with little image header information.
However, if desired the header information can be added to images which
lack it. In all the examples the parameters used are those of the package
and apply equally well to any image header format provided there is an
instrument translation file.
.nf
1. cl> ccdhedit obj* imagetyp object
2. cl> ccdhedit flat* imagetyp flat
3. cl> ccdhedit zero* imagetyp zero
4. cl> ccdhedit obj0![1-3]* subset "V filter"
5. cl> ccdhedit obj0![45]* subset "R filter"
6. cl> ccdhedit flat001 subset "R filter"
7. cl> ccdhedit obj* exptime 500 type=integer
.fi
8. The following is an example of a CL script which sets the CCD image type,
the subset, and the exposure time simultaneously. The user may expand
on this example to include other parameters or other initialization
operations.
.nf
cl> edit ccdheader.cl
----------------------------------------------------------------
# Program to set CCD header parameters.
procedure ccdheader (images)
string images {prompt="CCD images"}
string imagetyp {prompt="CCD image type"}
string subset {prompt="CCD subset"}
string exptime {prompt="CCD exposure time"}
begin
string ims
ims = images
ccdhedit (ims, "imagetyp", imagetyp, type="string")
ccdhedit (ims, "subset", subset, type="string")
ccdhedit (ims, "exptime", exptime, type="real")
end
----------------------------------------------------------------
cl> task ccdheader=ccdheader.cl
cl> ccdheader obj* imagetyp=object subset="V" exptime=500
.fi
9. The image header may be changed to force processing a calibration image
as an object. For example to flatten a flat field:
.nf
cl> ccdhedit testflat imagetyp other
cl> ccdproc testflat
.fi
10. To delete processing flags:
cl> ccdhedit obj042 flatcor ""
