There are several instances in the software of ASCII input files, e.g. to define windows, spectra or sky lines. The format of these files is not very memorable, and fixed example templates carry the risk of becoming out of date. This program uses the current version of the software to generate example of these files and should therefore always give a valid output, assuming that there are no bugs.
For each template type the program prints out some information about what it is doing to help you interpret the ASCII file.
gentemp nccd type name
| nccd | --- | The number of CCDs to use |
| type | --- | The type of template to generate. Current choices are 'skylines', 'spectra' and 'windows', all case insensitive. You should of course be aware that in some cases interactive programs exist such as setwin |
| name | --- | This is the root name of the output file which will have a standard extension such as '.win' for window files |
See also addfield, addsky, addspec, setaper, setdefect, setfield, setwin.
This command is a member of the classes: Programs, Spectra, Testing.
