NAME

fot2disk - dump a NFI FOT to disk

SYNOPSIS

fot2disk

DESCRIPTION

fot2disk is a script that dumps the contents of FOT data delivered on tape to disk using a file naming convention compatible with the module foting. Is up to the user to have the FOT on a hard disk and run foting using the parameters disk=yes indir=anydir or let the FOT on tape and use foting with a command line of type disk=no tapedev=anydevice.
fot2disk does NOT use a IRAF-style parameter interface and parameters will be asked directly from the prompt.
The following parameters will be asked :

Input device

The device where the FOT data are supposed to be read from. Default is the device specified during the configuration phase of the SAXDAS package.



Output directory

The output directory for FOT data. Default is the current directory.



Instruments

The instruments the user want to process separated or not by blanks. Default is all, i.e. LE ME HP PD.



Satellite HK files ?

Process also satellite HK files. Default is no, since foting does not use them at all.
