OTF2CLASS


  This procedure converts raw otf data [sdd file format] into class file
format.

12m Usage: otf2class [ options ] datafile
        where datafile is the input sdd file [ e.g. sdd_hc.sys_001 ]
        (sdd.<initials>_version for filterbanks. Add _hc as above for MAC)

Outputs a class file named class.sdd_<backend name>.<initials>_<version>
in the specified directory and making a link to it in the current directory
Information about this is put on the screen and in a log file, otf2class.log
 
The options are:
        -bs begin_scan_num  [ first scan of map within the raw data file ]
        -es ending_scan_num [ last scan of map within the raw data file ]

Optional selection of first & last velocity or channel to write

Either:
        -bc begin_chan_num  [ lowest channel number to write ]
        -ec ending_chan_num [ highest channel number to write ]

or:

        -bv begin_velocity  [ lowest velocity to write ]
        -ev ending_velocity [ highest velocity to write ]
 
        -i <backend>    specifies the backend portion read: fb11, fb12, ...]
             or <backend> can instead be the backend number:
                  [ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 for filters]
                  [ 11 | 12 for MAC ]

        -s smooth_count [ 2 | 4 | 8 etc ] [ number of 0.1 Sec samples to bin ]

        -d     Turn on debugging info. Multiple times for more.

        -nos   Do not interpolate between adjacent off scans. [default: on]

        -syn   Recalculate the synthesizer and interpolate to correct it

        -o output_directory.   [default: /home/class2/otfclass/]
             (Due to limited disk space, please don't use a /home/obs directory)

        -f   Read sdd files from the /home/data4/fixed (vs /home/data/'inits'])

        -skip file   [ File of scan nos to ignore ]
             (0 or more blank separated integers per line, "#" starts comment)

        -p   Create a new .log file after renaming the old one(s):
             (otf2class.oldestlog deleted, .olderlog -> .oldestlog,
             .oldlog -> .olderlog, .log -> .oldlog)
 
        Example: otf2class -bs 117 -es 135 -i fb21 -s 4 sdd.lmz_001
 
        NOTES: 1) If you are using the fixed data directory, '-f', and
                  the data was the results of an 'otfmakeoffs' then also
                  supply the '-nos' switch to prevent 'off' smoothing
               2) Use only one of the bandwidth options: [bc & ec | bv & ev]
               3) Must have setenv OBSINIT to the observer initials as otf2class
                  looks in /home/data/$OBSINIT for the sdd and gsdd files
               4) Unless the class file is written to the current directory,
                  a link to that file is made in the current directory
