NAME
rfihilltop- make .pdf files (images or spectra) of hilltop rfi
monitor data.
SYNTAX
rfihilltop {-h -s -f freq -n Ndaystoplot -p daysperPage -o
Outputfile} yymmddStart
ARG
- yymmddStart first day to plot. 03feb13 would be 130203
Options
-h
output help message and exit
-s
output daily spectral averages. The default is
dynamic spectra.
-f freqMhz Freq band (in Mhz)
to output. This will select the closest hilltop monitoring band
that includes this freq, The default is 1325.
-n NdaysToPlot number of days to plot (starting at
yymmddStart). The default is 8.
-p daysPerPage number of days on each page. The default is the
smaller of 8 and NdaysToPlot.
-o outputFile name of output file. The
default is rfiimg.pdf (or rfispc.pdf for spectra).
DESCRIPTION
Plot multiple days of rfi hilltop data from one frequency
band. By default the program generates dynamic spectra (-s will plot
daily spectral averages). Data is plotted starting with yymmdd1stDay
(this is the 1 parm you have to enter). The user can specify the
number of days (-n)
and how many days per page to plot (-p).
The output is sent to rfiimg.pdf (for dynamic spectra) or
rfispc.pdf (for daily averages). Both of these are in the current
directory.
You can change the output file with -o option
rfihilltop is a script that calls idl which then does all of the
processing. The shell script executes the idl routine: immultiday()
EXAMPLES
- rfihilltop 130201
- outputs dynamic spectra: 8 days, 1 page, 1325 band starting
at 01feb13
- rfihilltop -s -n 24 -f 5200 130121
- outputs daily averages Spectra. 24 days, 8 days/page at 5200
Mhz starting on 21jan13
- rfihilltop -f 1325 -ndays 365 120101
- Output one year of data from the 1325 Mhz band starting on
01jan12
- This took about 2 minutes to process. The outputfile was
about 7 MBytes.
RESTRICTIONS:
- -p daysPerPage can be 1,2,4,8,10. the default is 8. If
daysPerPage is less than NdaystoPlot, then daysPerpage will be
set to NdaysToPlot.
- -n NdaysToPlot. The maximum value is NdaysToPlot/daysPerPagee
<= 100
- debugging info is written to /tmp/rfihilltop.log.If there are
problems look in this file.
FILES
- executable: /pkg/aosoft/common/bin/rfihilltop .. this is the
shell script
- idl source: /share/megs/phil/svn/idl/im/immultiday.pro
ARCHITECTURES
Since rfihilltop uses idl, it probably runs on Solaris
and Linux.
