5.4.3 GS [*]

If you are interested in more detail of what spectra the BCS has observed, use GS - this routine must be run after the data has been read in with YODAT. There is an upper limit on how much data can be handled at a time (about 900 spectra), and some selection of the required time interval may be needed using the methods described above, but for the per-orbit files, this limit may not be a problem. The advantage of GS is that you can get a good idea of what has been seen in the spectra - a particularly useful tool if you are trawling for data. Warning: The time axis on the greyscale plot is not uniform!
IDL> .run gs
  All the routines that run from GS require that spectra be selected first using the cursor routine.
IDL> .run gs_cur
