Overview

This document contains an overview of the parameter interface of the program NCOPY. The program also uses a number of public interfaces; references to these are also listed. show parameters that The remainder of the document describes the individual parameters in alphabetical order. This description centers on the Help texts, which have been designed to guide the user to the proper choice at each junction, even if his knowledge of the overall workings of the program is only superficial.

Parameter COPY_IFDATA

Prompt: copy IF-data/Total Powers?
Expected input: Yes/No: 1 value

        Specify YES if you want to copy IF-data (Total Powers) together
with the data

Parameter COPY_MODEL

Prompt: copy model data?
Expected input: Yes/No: 1 value

        Specify YES if you want to copy the model together with the data

Parameter OPTION

Expected input: Character *12: 1 value

Actions:

  COPY          Copy sectors from one SCN file to another.
  SHORTCOPY     As copy, but only scans selected by scan number; this option
                 allows you to cut out the invalid trailing scan from a mosaic
                 sector

  OVERWIEW      Display and log an overview of all sectors in a SCN file
  QUIT          Exit from NCOPY

Parameter POLARISATION

Prompt: Select polarisations
Expected input: Character *4: 1 value

Select polarisations to be copied:
        XYX:    XX, XY, YX, YY
        XY:     XX, YY only
        X:      XX only

        YX:     for special applications only:
                 overwrite XX with XY, YY with YX, then output as if XY

Parameter SCANS

Prompt: First and last scan number from each sector
Expected input: Integer: 1 to 2 values

From all sectors selected, only the scan numbers within the selected scan
number and HA ranges wiull be copied. E.g., the specification

                SCANS= 0,4

will remove the last scan (number 5) from allo sectors of a mosaic observation
that produces 6-scan sectors.

Remember that the first scan in a sector is numbered 0.
