1.2.3 Listing of the SXT Images and Heliocentric Locations

 

There are a variety of routines which will produce listings of the images and pointing locations of the SXT partial frame images.

The routine PR_SXTOBS will read the observing log and list every FFI and PFI image taken for the times requested. The format of the output is simply the output of GET_INFO which is described in detail in the Reference Guide (PR_SXTOBS simply reads the observing log and then calls GET_INFO). The command:
IDL> pr_sxtobs,'15-nov-91 22:00','15-nov-91 22:05',/long
  will produce the output:

The routine SXTPNT_SUM will read the observing log and give a summary of the unique PFI pointing for a given period. It groups the summary listing based on each unique pointing location over time. The command:
IDL> sxtpnt_sum, '5-oct-93 13:00', '6-oct-93 1:00'
  will produce a file in your home directory with the name ``sxtpnt_sum.txt'' (unless you specify the output file name with the outfil keyword option). The beginning of this file is:

It can be seen that the listing contains information on the number of images of a given filter for each time span, the heliocentric coordinates, the NOAA active region number(s) if applicable, the peak flux in HXT-LOW and SXS2, the GOES flare event level, and a few other things. A ``*'' at the end of the summary line says that the time of the peak of the GOES event is contained within the time span shown.
