ICIMACS for OSIRIS: FITSOSIR.TPL
7/22/99 : JAM
(ICIMACS = Instrument Control and Image
Acquisition System
The first five entries of an ICIMACS generated FITS header are fixed, as is
the final entry (END). All other entries are user-definable, when entered in the
FITS header template file (.tpl file) in the directory for each instrument. When one of
the keywords below is used, the corresponding internal variable will be
included when the FITS header for each image is generated. Any other keyword
will cause the entered line to be included in the header verbatim. A line
beginning with a hash mark "#" is a comment and is ignored by the program.
- CMNT
- The string entered with the COMMENT command
- OBSERVER
- The observer names entered with the OBSERVER command
- OWNER
- The image owner name defined with the owner command
- BSCALE
- The data scaling factor
- BZERO
- The data zero-correction constant
- NCOADDS
- The number of coadded frames
- PROPID
- Proposal ID number, entered with the PROPID command
- RECID
- Archiving ID entered with RECID command, plus the date and time
stamp
- IMAGETYP
- The image type entered with one of the image type commands
(OBJECT, DARK, FLAT, etc.)
- OBJECT
- The object name entered with the image type commands (OBJECT,
DARK, FLAT, etc.)
- DATATYPE
- An internal data type description
- FORMAT
- An internal data format description
- POSTBIAS
- (IR only) the constant added to postreads before reduction
- CLIPPIX
- (IR only) the number of pixels clipped to zero after reduction
- GROUP
- The user entered group number (GROUP command)
- DISPAXIS
- The user entered dispersion axis
- ITIME
- The integration time
- EXPTIME
- The integration time
- FILENAME
- The name of the file
- UNIQNAME
- The unique name of the file
- LEDFLASH
- The number of flashes of the LED before readout. Set with
FLASH command
The following is the ANDICAM IR channel FITS template file

#
#ICIMACS FITS header notes:
# First five cards and last card are fixed and not listed here
#
# Keywords without values are not supported. Use COMMENT instead
#
# Each card (line) must end with a carriage return
# From the FITS standard:
# Keywords cannot contain spaces.
