NAME: ADD_HEADER PURPOSE: addition information from FITS-headers MPFS-frames DESCRIPTION: The function computes the total exposure, mean value zenit distance and modified FITS header CALLING SEQUENCE: Result =ADD_HEADER( headers ) CATEGORY: reduction MPFS-data INPUTS: Headers = String array FITS-headers from the MPFS data OUTPUTS: Header = String array containing the header from the FITS file.

NAME: CHECK_FITS PURPOSE: Given a FITS array IM, and a associated FITS or STSDAS header HDR, this procedure will check that (1) HDR is a string array, and IM is defined and numeric (2) The NAXISi values in HDR are appropiate to the dimensions of IM (3) The BITPIX value in HDR is appropiate to the datatype of IM If HDR contains a DATATYPE keyword (as in STSDAS files), then this is also checked against the datatype of of IM If the UPDATE keyword is present, then FITS header will be modified, if necessary, to force agreement with the image array CALLING SEQUENCE: check_FITS, im, hdr, [ dimen, idltype, /UPDATE, /NOTYPE, /SDAS ] INPUTS: IM - FITS or STSDAS array, (e.g. as read by SXREAD or READFITS ) HDR - FITS or STSDAS header (string array) associated with IM OPTIONAL OUTPUTS: dimen - vector containing actual array dimensions idltype- data type of the FITS array as specified in the IDL SIZE function (1 for BYTE, 2 for INTEGER*2, 3 for INTEGER*4, etc.) OPTIONAL KEYWORD INPUTS: /NOTYPE - If this keyword is set, then only agreement of the array dimensions with the FITS header are checked, and not the data type. /UPDATE - If this keyword is set then the BITPIX, NAXIS and DATATYPE FITS keywords will be updated to agree with the array /SDAS - If this keyword is set then the header is assumed to be from an SDAS (.hhh) file. CHECK_FITS will then ensure that (1) a DATATYPE keyword is included in the header and (2) BITPIX is always written with positive values. /FITS - If this keyword is present then CHECK_FITS assumes that it is dealing with a FITS header and not an SDAS header, see notes below. SYSTEM VARIBLE: If there is a fatal problem with the FITS array or header then !ERR is set to -1. ( If the UPDATE keyword was supplied, and the header could be fixed then !ERR = 0.) PROCEDURE: Program checks the NAXIS1 and NAXIS2 parameters in the header to see if they match the image array dimensions. NOTES: An important distinction between an STSDAS header and a FITS header is that the BITPIX value in an STSDAS is always positive, e.g. BITPIX=32 for REAL*4 data. Users should use either the /SDAS or the /FITS keyword if it is important whether the STSDAS or FITS convention for REAL*4 data is used. Otherwise, CHECK_FITS assumes that if a DATATYPE keyword is present then it is dealing with an STSDAS header. MODIFICATION HISTORY: Written, December 1991 W. Landsman Hughes/STX to replace CHKIMHD No error returned if NAXIS=0 and IM is a scalar W. Landsman Feb 93 Fixed bug for REAL*8 STSDAS data W. Landsman July 93 Make sure NAXIS agrees with NAXISi W.

NAME: MKHDR PURPOSE: Make a minimal primary FITS image header or a minimal FITS IMAGE extension header. If an array is supplied then the created FITS header will be appropiate to the supplied array. Otherwise, the user can specify the dimensions and datatype. CALLING SEQUENCE: MKHDR, header ;Prompt for image size and type or MKHDR, header, im, [ /IMAGE, /EXTEND ] or MKHDR, header, type, naxisx, [/IMAGE, /EXTEND ] OPTIONAL INPUTS: IM - If IM is a vector or array then the header will be made appropiate to the size and type of IM. IM does not have to be the actual data; it can be a dummy array of the same type and size as the data. Set IM = '' to create a dummy header with NAXIS = 0. TYPE - If more than 2 parameters are supplied, then the second parameter is intepreted as an integer giving the IDL datatype e.g. 1 - LOGICAL*1, 2 - INTEGER*2, 4 - REAL*4, 3 - INTEGER*4 NAXISX - Vector giving the size of each dimension (NAXIS1, NAXIS2, etc.). OUTPUT: HDR - image header, (string array) with required keywords BITPIX, NAXIS, NAXIS1, ... Further keywords can be added to the header with SXADDPAR. OPTIONAL INPUT KEYWORDS: IMAGE = If set, then a minimal header for a FITS IMAGE extension is created. An IMAGE extension header is identical to a primary FITS header except the first keyword is 'XTENSION' = 'IMAGE' instead of 'SIMPLE ' = 'T' EXTEND = If set, then the keyword EXTEND is inserted into the file, with the value of "T" (true). RESTRICTIONS: (1) MKHDR should not be used to make an STSDAS header or a FITS ASCII or Binary Table header. Instead use SXHMAKE - to create a minimal STSDAS header FXHMAKE - to create a minimal FITS binary table header FTCREATE - to create a minimal FITS ASCII table header (2) Any data already in the header before calling MKHDR will be destroyed. EXAMPLE: Create a minimal FITS header, HDR, for a 30 x 40 x 50 INTEGER*2 array IDL> MKHDR, HDR, 2, [30,40,50] Alternatively, if the array already exists as an IDL variable, ARRAY, IDL> MKHDR, HDR, ARRAY PROCEDURES CALLED: SXADDPAR, GET_DATE REVISION HISTORY: Written November, 1988 W.

NAME: robomean PURPOSE: (one line) Robust statistical moments of the data. DESCRIPTION: This routine computes the average, average deviation, standard deviation, variance, skew and kurtosis of the input data. The various output quantities are always returned as floating point scalars. The statistics are computed with no regard for the dimensionality of the input data. The statistics are robust in that the data is searched for outliers after the moments are computed. If outliers are found they are removed and the statistics are computed again. This continues until either no outliers are found or if the removal of outliers has an insignificant effect on the statistics. CATEGORY: statistics CALLING SEQUENCE: robomean,data,thresh,eps,avg,avgdev,stddev,var,skew,kurt,nfinal INPUTS: data - Input data to be analyzed. thresh - Deviation from the mean to signify an outlier. eps - Smallest significant change in mean in units of std dev. OPTIONAL INPUT PARAMETERS: None. INPUT KEYWORD PARAMETERS: None. OUTPUT KEYWORD PARAMETERS: STDMEAN : Optional return of standard deviation of the mean. OUTPUTS: avg - Sample mean. avgdev - Average deviation of the data from the mean. stddev - Standard deviation of the data from the mean. var - Variance of the data from the mean. skew - Skewness, third statistical moment. kurt - Kurtosis, fourth statistical moment. nfinal - Number of points used in the final result. new - Vector of 'clean' pixels (optional). COMMON BLOCKS: None. SIDE EFFECTS: None. RESTRICTIONS: None. PROCEDURE: Standard techniques, see section 13.1 in Numerical Recipies. The thresh and eps values are not tremendously important. Thresh=5.0 and eps=0.5 appear to work pretty well most of the time. MODIFICATION HISTORY: Written by Marc W. Buie, Lowell Observatory, 1992 Jan 20. Fix - nfinal was not being returned to calling program. Doug Loucks, Lowell Observatory, 1992 Oct 22. Fix - Sense of test to determine additional refinement was not correct for some cases. Changed logic to parallel the C version, since the WHILE statement is now available in IDL. Mod - Added by Marc Buie: Argument 'new,' allowing the 'clean' pixels to be returned to the caller. Mod - 2/11/94, DWL, Added keyword STDMEAN to permit return of this value to the caller. Modified for MPFS-data by Victor Afanasiev, Jul 1999

NAME: STRN PURPOSE: The main and original purpose of this procedure is to convert a number to an unpadded string (i.e. with no blanks around it.) However, it has been expanded to be a multi-purpose formatting tool. You may specify a length for the output string; the returned string is either set to that length or padded to be that length. You may specify characters to be used in padding and which side to be padded. Finally, you may also specify a format for the number. NOTE that the input "number" need not be a number; it may be a string, or anything. It is converted to string. CALLING SEQEUNCE: tmp = STRN( number, [ LENGTH=, PADTYPE=, PADCHAR=, FORMAT = ] ) INPUT: NUMBER This is the input variable to be operated on. Traditionally, it was a number, but it may be any scalar type. OPTIONAL INPUT: LENGTH This KEYWORD specifies the length of the returned string. If the output would have been longer, it is truncated. If the output would have been shorter, it is padded to the right length. PADTYPE This KEYWORD specifies the type of padding to be used, if any. 0=Padded at End, 1=Padded at front, 2=Centered (pad front/end) IF not specified, PADTYPE=1 PADCHAR This KEYWORD specifies the character to be used when padding. The default is a space (' '). FORMAT This keyword allows the FORTRAN type formatting of the input number (e.g. '(f6.2)') OUTPUT: tmp The formatted string USEFUL EXAMPLES: print,'Used ',strn(stars),' stars.' ==> 'Used 22 stars.' print,'Attempted ',strn(ret,leng=6,padt=1,padch='0'),' retries.' ==> 'Attempted 000043 retries.' print,strn('M81 Star List',length=80,padtype=2) ==> an 80 character line with 'M81 Star List' centered. print,'Error: ',strn(err,format='(f15.2)') ==> 'Error: 3.24' or ==> 'Error: 323535.22' HISTORY: 03-JUL-90 Version 1 written by Eric W.

NAME: STRNUMBER PURPOSE: Function to determine if a string is a valid numeric value. CALLING SEQUENCE: result = strnumber( st, [val] ) INPUTS: st - any IDL scalar string OUTPUTS: 1 is returned as the function value if the string st has a valid numeric value, otherwise, 0 is returned. OPTIONAL OUTPUT: val - (optional) value of the string. real*8 WARNING: (1) In V2.2.2 there was a bug in the IDL ON_IOERROR procedure that will cause the following statement to hang up IDL IDL> print,'' + string( strnumber('xxx') ) This bug was fixed in V2.3.0 (2) In V2.3.2, an IDL bug is seen in the following statements IDL> st = 'E' IDL> q = strnumber(st) & print,st The variable 'st' gets modified to an empty string. This problem is related to the ambiguity of whether 'E' is a number or not (could be = 0.0E). This bug was fixed in V3.0.0 (3) STRNUMBER was modified in February 1993 to include a special test for empty or null strings, which now returns a 0 (not a number). Without this special test, it was found that a empty string (' ') could corrupt the stack. HISTORY: version 1 By D. Lindler Aug. 1987 test for empty string, W. Landsman February, 1993

NAME: SXADDHIST PURPOSE: Procedure to add history line(s) to a FITS or STSDAS header CALLING SEQUENCE sxaddhist, history, header, [ /PDU ] INPUTS: history - string or string array containing history line(s) to add to the header header - string array containing the FITS or STSDAS header KEYWORD INPUTS: /PDU - if specified, the history will be added to the primary data unit header, (before the line beginning BEGIN EXTENSION...) Otherwise, it will be added to the end of the header OUTPUTS: header - unpdated header EXAMPLES: sxaddhist, 'I DID THIS', header hist = strarr(3) hist(0) = 'history line number 1' hist(1) = 'the next history line' hist(2) = 'the last history line' sxaddhist, hist, header HISTORY: D.

NAME: SXADDPAR PURPOSE: Add or modify a parameter in a FITS or STSDAS header array. CALLING SEQUENCE: sxaddpar, Header, Name, Value, [ Comment, Location, BEFORE =, AFTER = , FORMAT= , /PDU] INPUTS: Header = String array containing FITS or STSDAS header. The length of each element must be 80 characters. If not defined, then SXADDPAR will create an empty FITS header array. Name = Name of parameter. If Name is already in the header the value and possibly comment fields are modified. Otherwise a new record is added to the header. If name = 'HISTORY' then the value will be added to the record without replacement. In this case the comment parameter is ignored. Value = Value for parameter. The value expression must be of the correct type, e.g. integer, floating or string. String values of 'T' or 'F' are considered logical values. OPTIONAL INPUT PARAMETERS: Comment = String field. The '/' is added by this routine. Added starting in position 31. If not supplied, or set equal to '', then the previous comment field is retained (when found) Location = Keyword string name. The parameter will be placed before the location of this keyword. This parameter is identical to the BEFORE keyword and is kept only for consistency with earlier versions of SXADDPAR. OPTIONAL INPUT KEYWORD PARAMETERS: BEFORE = Keyword string name. The parameter will be placed before the location of this keyword. For example, if BEFORE='HISTORY' then the parameter will be placed before the first history location. This applies only when adding a new keyword; keywords already in the header are kept in the same position. AFTER = Same as BEFORE, but the parameter will be placed after the location of this keyword. This keyword takes precedence over BEFORE. FORMAT = Specifies FORTRAN-like format for parameter, e.g. "F7.3". A scalar string should be used. For complex numbers the format should be defined so that it can be applied separately to the real and imaginary parts. /PDU = specifies keyword is to be added to the primary data unit header. If it already exists, it's current value is updated in the current position and it is not moved. OUTPUTS: Header = updated FITS header array. RESTRICTIONS: Warning -- Parameters and names are not checked against valid FITS parameter names, values and types. MODIFICATION HISTORY: DMS, RSI, July, 1983. D. Lindler Oct. 86 Added longer string value capability Converted to NEWIDL D. Lindler April 90 Added Format keyword, J. Isensee, July, 1990 Added keywords BEFORE and AFTER. K. Venkatakrishna, May '92 Pad string values to at least 8 characters W. Landsman April 94 Aug 95: added /PDU option and changed routine to update last occurence of an existing keyword (the one SXPAR reads) instead of the first occurence.

NAME: SXDELPAR PURPOSE: Procedure to delete a keyword parameter(s) from a FITS or STSDAS header CALLING SEQUENCE: sxdelpar, h, parname INPUTS: h - FITS or STSDAS header, string array parname - string or string array of keyword name(s) to delete OUTPUTS: h - updated FITS or STSDAS header, If all lines are deleted from the header, then h is returned with a value of 0 EXAMPLE: Delete the astrometry keywords CDn_n from a FITS header, h IDL> sxdelpar, h, ['CD1_1','CD1_2','CD2_1','CD2_2'] NOTES: (1) No message is returned if the keyword to be deleted is not found (2) All appearances of a keyword in the header will be deleted HISTORY: version 1 D. Lindler Feb. 1987 Converted to new IDL April 1990 by D. Lindler Test for case where all keywords are deleted W. Landsman Aug 1995

NAME: SXPAR PURPOSE: Obtain the value of a parameter in a FITS or STSDAS header CALLING SEQUENCE: result = SXPAR( Hdr, Name, [ Abort, COUNT=, COMMENT = ]) INPUTS: Hdr = FITS or STSDAS header array, (e.g. as returned by READFITS or SXOPEN) string array, each element should have a length of 80 characters Name = String name of the parameter to return. If Name is of the form 'keyword*' then an array is returned containing values of keywordN where N is an integer. The value of keywordN will be placed in RESULT(N-1). The data type of RESULT will be the type of the first valid match of keywordN found. OPTIONAL INPUTS: ABORT - string specifying that SXPAR should do a RETALL if a parameter is not found. ABORT should contain a string to be printed if the keyword parameter is not found. If not supplied SXPAR will return with a negative !err if a keyword is not found. OPTIONAL OUTPUT KEYWORDS: COUNT - Optional keyword to return a value equal to the number of parameters found by sxpar, integer scalar COMMENT - Array of comments associated with the returned values OUTPUTS: Function value = value of parameter in header. If parameter is double precision, floating, long or string, the result is of that type. Apostrophes are stripped from strings. If the parameter is logical, 1 is returned for T, and 0 is returned for F. If Name was of form 'keyword*' then a vector of values are returned. SIDE EFFECTS: !ERR is set to -1 if parameter not found, 0 for a scalar value returned. If a vector is returned it is set to the number of keyword matches found. If a keyword occurs more than once in a header, a warning is given, and the first occurence is used. EXAMPLES: Given a FITS header, h, return the values of all the NAXISi values into a vector. Then place the history records into a string vector. IDL> naxisi = sxpar( h ,'NAXIS*') ; Extract NAXISi value IDL> history = sxpar( h, 'HISTORY' ) ; Extract HISTORY records PROCEDURE: The first 8 chacters of each element of Hdr are searched for a match to Name. The value from the last 20 characters is returned. An error occurs if there is no parameter with the given name. If a numeric value has no decimal point it is returned as type LONG. If it contains more than 8 numerals, or contains the character 'D', then it is returned as type DOUBLE. Otherwise it is returned as type FLOAT MODIFICATION HISTORY: DMS, May, 1983, STPAR Written. D. Lindler Jan 90 added ABORT input parameter J. Isensee Jul,90 added COUNT keyword W. Thompson, Feb. 1992, added support for FITS complex values. W. Thompson, May 1992, corrected problem with HISTORY/COMMENT/blank keywords, and complex value error correction. W. Landsman, November 1994, fix case where NAME is an empty string W. Landsman, March 1995, Added COMMENT keyword, ability to read values longer than 20 character W. Landsman, July 1995, Removed /NOZERO from MAKE_ARRAY call

NAME: WRITEFITS PURPOSE: Write an an IDL array into a disk FITS file. Works with all types of FITS files except random groups CALLING SEQUENCE: WRITEFITS, filename, data [, header, NaNvalue = , /APPEND] INPUTS: FILENAME = String containing the name of the file to be written. DATA = Image array to be written to FITS file. If DATA is undefined or a scalar, then only the FITS header (which must have NAXIS = 0) will be written to disk OPTIONAL INPUT: HEADER = String array containing the header for the FITS file. If variable HEADER is not given, the program will generate a minimal FITS header. OPTIONAL INPUT KEYWORD: NaNvalue - Value in the data array to be set to the IEEE NaN condition. This is the FITS representation of undefined values APPEND - If this keyword is set then the supplied header and data array are assumed to be an extension and are appended onto the end of an existing FITS file. Note that the primary header in the existing file must already have an EXTEND keyword to indicate the presence of an FITS extension. OUTPUTS: None RESTRICTIONS: (1) It recommended that BSCALE and BZERO not be used (or set equal to 1. and 0) with REAL*4 or REAL*8 data. (2) WRITEFITS will remove any group parameters from the FITS header EXAMPLE: Write a randomn 50 x 50 array as a FITS file creating a minimal header. IDL> im = randomn(seed, 50, 50) ;Create array IDL> writefits, 'test', im ;Write to a FITS file "test" PROCEDURES USED: CHECK_FITS, HOST_TO_IEEE, IS_IEEE_BIG(), SXDELPAR, SXADDPAR, SXPAR() MODIFICATION HISTORY: WRITTEN, Jim Wofford, January, 29 1989 MODIFIED, Wayne Landsman, added BITPIX = -32,-64 support for UNIX Use new BYTEODER keywords 22-Feb-92 Modify OPENW for V3.0.0 W. Landsman Dec 92 Work for "windows" R. Isaacman Jan 93 More checks for null data Mar 94 Work for Linux W. Landsman Sep 95 Added call to IS_IEEE_BIG() W. Landsman Apr 96
