Note however that rgssources does its best to upgrade the format of any old files it encounters. It will incorporate the instrument, exposure etc into the file header if you supply them just one time on the command line; you won't then need to do so for subsequently added sources.

Sending commands to an instrument or other actor is straightforward. ... This script simply takes a few darks. ... If the command fails then the script will terminate. Early termination will not affect this script because executing the command is the last step, but it can be very useful for longer scripts.) If a user cancels the script while the command is executing, the abort command is sent. ... Users are bound to abort your script and they should be able to do so safely and gracefully. ...

... There are compelling reasons for the pulsar community to utilise a standard data storage format. For example, standardisation of file formats significantly decreases the amount of effort required to integrate new instruments into the analysis chain. ... Accordingly, we have defined PSRFITS as a standard FITS-based format for pulsar data files. ... For example, the first line of Processing History HDU contains information about the data acquisition program and the initial structure of the file. ...

Next: CONCLUSION Up: CHIRPLET TRANSFORM SUBSPACES Previous: Nondilational Chirplet Transform . Suppose we choose a windowed sinusoidal FM signal for our mother chirplet. Such a signal has a frequency that periodically rises and falls (much like the vibrato of musical instruments or the wail of a police siren). ... Figure 14 . ... Using the warbling mother chirplet, we also computed the ``dilation-dilation'' ( ) plane of the chirplet transform (Fig. 16 ) for the pendulum data. ...
