PROC_AST

Process AEDP Astrometry (AST) data. This command generates a .DBI and .DMH file for each exposure in a catalog (.POD) file.

More_details

ENG and AST data is obtained from AEDP using a command procedure which performs a DECNET copy. A catalog of the data, along with the AEDP data itself, are placed in the OPUS directory specified by AEDP_XFER_INIT.DAT.

Catalogs:

AST: BLU:[DAT.AST]FA581416D.POD

ENG: BLU:[DAT.ENG]EABD1403D.POD

Data files:

AST: BLU:[DAT.AST]F05I0602M.A1H

BLU:[DAT.AST]F05I0602M.A1D

BLU:[DAT.AST]F05I0602M.A2H

BLU:[DAT.AST]F05I0602M.A2D

BLU:[DAT.AST]F05I0602M.A3H

BLU:[DAT.AST]F05I0602M.A3D

The AEDP data is then processed using the catalog (.POD) file. The PROC_AST command produces a GEIS header (.DMH) with support schedule information, and DataBase Indices (.DBI) file. The DBI files are later used by the off-line archive process (ARCGEN) to populate the "qbastr_archv" (for AST), and "file_times" (for ENG) relations with observation or file specific information. The DBI file is then deleted.
