The 'software/sun' directory contains source code files for simple data
manipulation and access functions for the NIMS Experiment Data Record
(EDR) files contained on this CD-ROM.

NOTE:  For detailed analysis of NIMS data, the EDRs should be processed
into spectral image cubes.  This can be done with cube generation
software available in either the ISIS or Vicar processing systems, which
must be obtained independently.  See 'volinfo.txt' for a description.

There are two programs available in the 'software/sun' directory: 
'addlab.out', and 'edrchk.out'.  A description of each program is provided.

To compile and link the programs on a SUN system, simply execute the
script file 'build.com'

EDRDMP
______

The 'edrdmp' program is not available on the sun system.


EDRCHK
______

'edrchk' provides a means for displaying quality information about a
NIMS EDR, such as percent of valid data, amount of fill data and
telemetry signal-to- noise ratios every minute, and for the whole file,
as well as detailed validity maps at .007 second intervals.  In
addition, 'edrchk' will display various instrument housekeeping and
engineering items every 2/3 second, as well as the PDS label of the
file.

This program may be executed directly from the CD-ROM, or may be copied
to your local disk and executed from there.  Execute the program by 
entering edrchk.out at the system prompt.  You will be asked for the 
following input parameters:

(1)  Enter print option:  1: display header info only
			  2: display header info and grand totals
			  3: display header info, RIM totals
			      every minute) and grand totals
			  4: display everything (data record 
			      info every 2/3 second)

(2)  Enter output list (report) filename, or ^D to exit

(3)  Enter EDR filename (loops on this request, ^D to terminate)

Note: Be sure to wait for system prompts between entering each new
      parameters.


ADDLAB
______

'addlab.out' combines the VICAR label found in the VIC subdirectories and
the PDS-labelled data files found in the EDR subdirectories. The program
is used solely to create a file for the VICAR NIMS cube generation
software, which requires VICAR-labelled EDRs.

'addlab.out' has two command-line arguments - the first parameter must
contain the name of the PDS/EDR labeled file.  Specify the complete
pathname, including the directory specification.  The program will
determine the name of the VICAR label file.  The second parameter is the
output file.

The commands to compile, link and run this program on  SUN UNIX
work station are below.

     SUN/UNIX (build.com command accomplishes this function):
          cc -o addlab.out addlab.c          Will compile and link
                                             the program.
     To execute the program:

          addlab.out edrfile outfile         Will run the program.
