rfihilltop

NAME

rfihilltop- make .pdf files (images or spectra) of hilltop rfi monitor data.

SYNTAX

rfihilltop {-h -s -f freq -n Ndaystoplot -p daysperPage -o Outputfile} yymmddStart

ARG

yymmddStart first day to plot. 03feb13 would be 130203

Options

-h output help message and exit

-s output daily spectral averages. The default is dynamic spectra.

-f freqMhz Freq band (in Mhz) to output. This will select the closest hilltop monitoring band that includes this freq, The default is 1325.

-n NdaysToPlot number of days to plot (starting at yymmddStart). The default is 8.

-p daysPerPage number of days on each page. The default is the smaller of 8 and NdaysToPlot.

-o outputFile name of output file. The default is rfiimg.pdf (or rfispc.pdf for spectra).

DESCRIPTION

Plot multiple days of rfi hilltop data from one frequency band. By default the program generates dynamic spectra (-s will plot
daily spectral averages). Data is plotted starting with yymmdd1stDay (this is the 1 parm you have to enter). The user can specify the number of days (-n)
and how many days per page to plot (-p).
The output is sent to rfiimg.pdf (for dynamic spectra) or
rfispc.pdf (for daily averages). Both of these are in the current directory.
You can change the output file with -o option

rfihilltop is a script that calls idl which then does all of the processing. The shell script executes the idl routine: immultiday()

EXAMPLES

rfihilltop 130201

outputs dynamic spectra: 8 days, 1 page, 1325 band starting at 01feb13

rfihilltop -s -n 24 -f 5200 130121

outputs daily averages Spectra. 24 days, 8 days/page at 5200 Mhz starting on 21jan13

rfihilltop -f 1325 -ndays 365 120101

Output one year of data from the 1325 Mhz band starting on 01jan12
This took about 2 minutes to process. The outputfile was about 7 MBytes.

RESTRICTIONS:

-p daysPerPage can be 1,2,4,8,10. the default is 8. If daysPerPage is less than NdaystoPlot, then daysPerpage will be set to NdaysToPlot.
-n NdaysToPlot. The maximum value is NdaysToPlot/daysPerPagee <= 100
debugging info is written to /tmp/rfihilltop.log.If there are problems look in this file.

FILES

executable: /pkg/aosoft/common/bin/rfihilltop .. this is the shell script
idl source: /share/megs/phil/svn/idl/im/immultiday.pro

ARCHITECTURES

Since rfihilltop uses idl, it probably runs on Solaris and Linux.
