2.2.3 Spectra and Light Curve Plot Routines

The light curve, and spectra at times selected from the light curve, may be displayed using WBDA. This is an interactive, Widget-driven program. Notes: (i) WBDA can work either from extracted data, or can extract its data directly from the BDA file; (ii) the spectral plots are versus wavelength.
IDL> wbda,index,data
Times can be selected by the cursor from a light curve and summations overplotted together with a light curve using BCS_SURVEY.
IDL> bcs_survey,index,data [,chan=n [,/norm , etc]]
  Spectra summed over times selected by the cursor from the GS greyscale can be plotted with GS_SP (which displays four spectra).
IDL> .run gs_sp
  There are several variants of a routine that plots spectra from several channels and a light curve on a page. In due course, these will be combined into one program. These routines display a light curve and three spectra)
IDL> .run vg

IDL> .run gs_vg
