NAME

uvotsequence - List and visualize UVOT observing sequences

USAGE

uvotsequence imglist=<filename> attfile=<filename> trigtime=<float> plotseq=<boolean> chatter=<enumerated integer>

DESCRIPTION

Given an ASCII list of the full or relative paths and names of a series of UVOT FITS image files, and a suitable attitude file, this tool will determine the times of each Swift snapshot and map each image to to a particular snapshot. Results are provided as standard output. Optionally, the results may be plotted.

PARAMETERS

imglist [filename]: An ASCII list containing paths and names of UVOT FITS image files, e.g.:
/Volumes/data1/00111529000/sw00111529000ubb_sk.img
/Volumes/data1/00111529000/sw00111529000um2_sk.img
/Volumes/data1/00111529000/sw00111529000uuu_sk.img
/Volumes/data1/00111529000/sw00111529000uvv_sk.img
/Volumes/data1/00111529000/sw00111529000uw1_sk.img
/Volumes/data1/00111529000/sw00111529000uw2_sk.img
attfile [filename]: Name of the corresponding Swift attitude FITS table.
trigtime [float]: Time of the BAT trigger in Mission Elapsed Time (MET). This is seconds since 2001 Jan 1, 00:00 UT, and can be obtained directly from BAT products.
(plotseq = yes) [boolean]: Whether or not to plot results.
(chatter = 1) [enumerated integer]: Standard HEAdas chatter parameter (1-5) controlling the verbosity of the task.

EXAMPLES

The following examples illustrate running uvotsequence

1. run uvotsequence prompting for all mandatory options:

      uvotsequence

2. run uvotsequence specifying all arguments:

      uvotsequence imglist=img.lis attfile=auxil/sw00111529000sat.fits
      trigtime=132853476.48 plotseq=yes chatter=1
