Show synop: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:12, 24 August 2010

Purpose

show_synop is a SolarSoftware IDL widget that incorporates searching the Virtual Solar Observatory (VSO), pre-processing, and displaying capabilities into one graphical user interface (GUI). Also see RHESSI Nugget N° 131 Cloudy SolarSoftware.

Requirements

Up-to-date SSW gen tree, installation and download instructions
If using remote pre-processing capabilities
- IDL 6.4 or later
- Sun Java 1.5

Description

; Routine syntax
[p]show_synop[/p], plotman=plotman

The plotman keyword is optional.

Keyword	Description	Example
plotman	This keyword allows sharing or reusing plotman (e.g. between an active plotman window and show_synop)	p=[f]plotman[/f](/nopanel) & [p]show_synop[/p], plotman=p

show_synop main widget

Done closes show_synop, GOES Workbench opens a separate widget that allows for GOES data visualization (see XXX), and Configure shows the show_synop configuration options (see XXX).
Start Time, End Time, and remote sites-> are used for the time and instrument based search that is started by clicking on the Search button. The drop-down list at remote sites -> shows all currently supported instruments. A click on the button # Sub-intervals: 0 opens an GOES light-curve based search (see XXX).
The box currently showing *** Press "Search" to list filenames *** lists the search results. The list shows file name, observation time, wavelength, and file size. The sorting can be changed to Filename, Decreasing Date, and Increasing Date.
View Header allows you to view the FITS header of a selected file. The Display button will pre-process the selected data file locally (if the instrument software is installed) or remotely using the PrepServer. Pre-processed data is then displayed it with PLOTMAN. To remove a data file from the local hard disk click on Delete.
This text box indicates the current working directory. Change allows browsing to another folder on the local hard disk.
This is a list of all files in the selected working directory (see bullet N° 5).
