uni2sdfits

procedure uni2sdfits, unifile, sdfitsfile

A procedure to convert a unipops SDD format file to an SDFITS table that can be consumed by GBTIDL.

This uses an sdd object to do the conversion, one scan at a time. The converted scan is then copied into the PDC and keep is used to save that scan to the output file.

This also converts recent data from the 12m which uses the unipops SDD format except that the byte ordering is reversed.

This could use more error checking and reporting.
