software/Fortran
This directory contains the following files
| urap_calibration.f90 | A Fortran module containing routines to perform calibration of URAP data for the FES, PFR, RAR and WFA. |
| urap_kinds.f90 | A Fortran module that defines the "kind" numbers that are used in the other modules. |
| urap_library.f90 | A Fortran module that provides routines to load data from the URAP instruments. Documentation for the routines can be found in the docs/software directory. |
software/IDL
This directory contains IDL procedures for accessing and displaying URAP data. It also contains procedures for performing radio direction finding using URAP data. Documentation for the main procedures can be found in the docs/software directory. The files are:
| cvt_day82_ymd.pro | Converts a date/time value in days since 1982 to year, month, day and time values. |
| day82.pro | Converts from year, month, day, time to days since 1982. |
| day82_to_str.pro | Converts a date/time value in days since 1982 to a string. |
| join_path.pro | Join directories names to form a path name. |
| lct39.pro | A routine to load a particular color table |
| list_urap.pro | List urap data |
