13.3. DATA CALIBRATION WITH X CIA 109
13.3.3.6 Example 4: testing several methods for transient correction
Let’s assume that the user wants to try different transient corrections on the previous data (see
above Example 3).
Hence, the sequence of commands would be the following:
1. Start a CIA session
2. Start x cia – simply type x cia on the CIA command line.
3. Choose AOT Type (default is raster scan).
4. Data / Load / IDL File (my file.xdr)
5. Process / None
6. Transient / SAP Model Fitting
7. Process / Selected
8. Use all available functions of View and Tools menu to explore calibrated data.
9. Transient / 90% Of Final Flux (measured)
10. Process / Selected
11. Use all available functions of View and Tools menu to explore calibrated data.
12. Tools / Hardcopy to create hardcopies.
13. . . .
14. CIA / Quit
13.3.3.7 Example 5: loading IDL data structure from memory
If an IDL data structure is already in memory, it is possible to load it directly into the x cia
session, by typing:
CIA>x_cia, data=my_structure
The modified value of my structure will then be returned at the end of session.
If a string array is already in memory, the user can also use it as its own data history by
typing:
CIA>x_cia, data=my_structure, histo=my_history
The string array my history will then be returned at the end of x cia session. If the array
my history is not empty at the beginning of the session, new information will be appended to
it.
13.3.3.8 Returning to home institute
You may choose to return to your home institute with the results of your calibration either in
XDR format (using Data / Save / IDL File) orinFITSformat(usingData/Save/SAD
(Fits)).
