Using read_tlm_jill.pro
1/9/2013

read_tlm_jill.pro is an IDL program that takes a raw telemetry file from the TWINS DVDs and produces IDL savesets of the data.

If the data file contains housekeeping data, then unpack_hsk_jill.pro is called and the data saved as “data file + _hsk.idl”. The saveset is called hskmsg. There is 1 row for every timestamp received.

If the data file contains dynamic imaging data, then unpack_img_jill.pro is called and the data saved as “data file + _img.idl”. The saveset is called imgmsg. There is 1 row for every timestamp received. This dataset contains the direct events data in a structure. The number of direct events can change depending upon the telemetry mode we are in.

If the data file contains static imaging data, then unpack_tst_jill.pro is called and the data saved as “data file + _tst.idl”. The saveset is called tstmsg. There is 1 row for every timestamp received. This dataset contains the direct events data in a structure. The number of direct events can change depending upon the telemetry mode we are in.

In order to run the read_tlm_jill program, start up IDL and use a command such as:
read_tlm_jill, “/www/jredfern/TW220122340000_R1” 

Assuming the data file is located in /www/jredfern and the file name is TW220122340000_R1.dat

The keywords fm1cal=fm1cal and cal=cal are used on the raw calibration files which are not going to be provided to the SPDF.
