offline

procedure offline, project, [/acs], [/sp]

Shorthand for filein, '/home/sdfits/filename.{acs,sp}.fits', where filename comes from the supplied project and the choice of "acs" or "sp" can be made using keywords (defaults to 'acs").

Provide a project name and optionally the backend type (acs or sp) to connect to file in the online data directory (/home/sdfits). Note that this file will not be treated as online, and will not be updated, just as filein does. Continuum is not supported.

In addition to being less typing, using offline ensures that should the location of the automatically generated sdfits files move at any point, you don't have to know where they were moved to - the Green Bank installation of GBTIDL will always know where to find them.

Examples
    offline,'AGBT02A_028_05'  ; opens ACS data for this project
