Exported FITS files
A FITS file written with File > Export As > Export to FIT has the structure of a standard CALLISTO file:
- Primary HDU
-
the two-dimensional spectrum (frequency time) with the chosen
BITPIX, and the original header updated with the keywords in Table B.2. AXISextension-
a binary table with one row and the columns
FREQUENCY(MHz) andTIME(s).
| Keyword | Content |
|---|---|
HISTORY |
“Exported by e-CALLISTO FITS Analyzer”, the plot type, the units shown, and the source file (or the first and last source of a combined dataset). |
COMBINED |
T for a combined dataset,
F otherwise. |
COMBMETH |
Combination method: time,
frequency or time_frequency. |
NFILES |
Number of source files of a combined dataset. |
BUNIT |
Intensity unit of the data. |
DATAMIN,
DATAMAX |
Minimum and maximum data values. |
BSCALE,
BZERO |
Scaling for integer data. |
