It is possible to take an SXT data file or an index and data that has
already been read in, and write a single FITS file for each image. The
FITS header has all of the information on the date and time, the filters
used, the exposure duration, the resolution, and the DP mode and rate. The
following command will create a file for each image in the data array:
IDL> sxt2fits, index, data
The default file names are SF_FITSyymmdd.hhmmss and
SP_FITSyymmdd.hhmmss for FFI and PFI images, respectively. If a single output file name is passed
to the SXT2FITS routine, but there are several images to save, then it will
append an image number to the end of the file name. In the following example,
the input array is 512
5123, so it will create the files `flare.0001', `flare.0002'
and `flare.0003'.
IDL> sxt2fits, index, data, outfil='flare'It is possible to specify an input file name in which case all images in that
file will have FITS files created. It is also possible to specify a list
of the images to be saved. Some examples of these calls are:
IDL> sxt2fits, index, data, ss=ssIDL> sxt2fits, infil=infilIDL> sxt2fits, infil=infil, ss=ss
