To get the 1D wavelength array for the window, do:

although bear in mind that the spectra shift in the detector-X direction during an orbit, and in the Y-direction due to the tilt of the EIS slit relative to the detector. These issues are discussed in [EIS Software Note 5|http://solarb.mssl.ucl.ac.uk/SolarB/eis_docs/eis_notes/05_WAVELENGTH_CORRECTION/eis_swnote_05.pdf] and [EIS Software Note 4|http://solarb.mssl.ucl.ac.uk/SolarB/eis_docs/eis_notes/04_SLIT_TILT/eis_swnote_04.pdf], respectively.

There are a number of other potentially useful methods to time related phenomena:
Note that the exposure times generally vary between exposures, and will not be exactly equal to the requested exposure time.

!The start and end times of an exposure
The start and end times of an exposure can be obtained through the shutter open and close times (ti1 and ti2):

to find the shutter open (and close) times in 'TI' format.
The units are given in TI format, which is the Hinode spacecraft time. The TI format can be converted to standard time formats using:
At line 62 changed 2 lines
Convert 'TI' format time to atomic time units ('TAI') or UTC, if no 'ti' parameter is given, the shutter open (ti_1) times for the data object are converted. The final method 'SEC_FROM_OBS_START' computes the number of seconds from the start of observations given by the input array assumed to be in 'TI' format.
The last method gives the time in second since the start of the first exposure in the sequence.
NOTE: the difference between the shutter open and close times, and the exposure time returned by the getexp() method generally do not agree. The former being larger by a fraction of a second. There are various technical reasons for this including a latency between the Instrument Control Unit (ICU) communicating with the Mechanism & Heater Controller (MHC), and a delayed response time of the MHC. __Users are recommended to always use the exposure time returned by getexp().__
!Other time routines
The date of an observation can be obtained with various methods:
At line 70 changed one line
Gives the date of obsvation in 'yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sss' format ('GETDATE_OBS') or in 'yyyymmdd' format ('GETDATE'). The 'DATE_OBS2DATE' converts the former to the latter format, if no date_obs is given the data objects date_obs is converted. 'DAYS_SINCE_LAUNCH' gives the number of days since launch, if no date is given, the data objects date is used.
getdate_obs() gives the date in 'yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sss' format, and getdate() in 'yyyymmdd' format. The date_obs2date converts the former to the latter format, if no date_obs is given the data object's date_obs is converted. days_since_launch() gives the number of days since launch, if no date is given then the data object's date is used.

!!Intensity units
To find the units for the intensity arrays in the data object, do
{{{IDL> units=data->getunit()}}}
which returns a 3-element string array, with the first element containing the intensity units. (The other elements are empty.)
