This class has all the same functionality as its superclass FITS, but contains specail handling for known characteristics of sdfits files, for example what columns to expect in an extension.

Fields inherited from SDFITS:

string   FITSVER string   SDFITVER string   SDFITVER_NUMBER longword integer   FROM_GBTIDL longword integer   AUTO_OFFSETS

Fields inherited from FITS:

string   FILE_NAME longword integer   NUM_EXTENSIONS pointer   EXTENSION_NAMES pointer   EXTENSION_TYPES pointer   AXIS object reference   PRIMARY_HEADER object reference   EXT_HEADER longword integer   PROPERTIES_KNOWN longword integer   DEBUG string   VERSION

Routine Summary  5 routines

function ZFITS::get_expected_col_names()
This class has all the same functionality as its superclass FITS, but contains special handling for known characteristics of sdfits files, for example what columns to expect in an extension.

function ZFITS::exclude_data(rowStruct)
Takes in a structure representing an zpectrometer fits row, and returns the same structure, minus the DATA and LAGS field

function ZFITS::get_sdfits_row_sizes()	private
Returns sizes needed for ASCII columns in sdfits.

function ZDFITS::define_sdfits_row(data_points)
Defines an anonymous structure that mirrors a row in an sdfits file, version 1.

procedure zfits__define	private
Defines class structure

ZFITS::exclude_data

function ZFITS::exclude_data(rowStruct)

Takes in a structure representing an zpectrometer fits row, and returns the same structure, minus the DATA and LAGS field

Returns

identical sturcture to that passed in, minus the DATA field

ZFITS::get_sdfits_row_sizes

private

function ZFITS::get_sdfits_row_sizes()

Returns sizes needed for ASCII columns in sdfits. Make this a dummy to override the SDFITS:: version, which should not be used here. Problems: this exists here AND in IO_SDFITS_WRITER.

Returns

structure with sizes for ASCII columsn in sdfits

ZDFITS::define_sdfits_row

function ZDFITS::define_sdfits_row(data_points)

Defines an anonymous structure that mirrors a row in an sdfits file, version 1.2. Must be anonymos so that the DATA columns length can be defined at run-time. Problems: this exists here AND in IO_SDFITS_WRITER Make this a dummy to override the SDFITS:: version, which should not be used here.

Returns

structure mirroring row of an sdfits file

Uses

SDFITS::get_sdfits_row_sizes

zfits__define

private

procedure zfits__define

Defines class structure
