After calibrating the data with eis_prep we are now ready to read the data into IDL. Setting:
At line 6 changed one line
filename=’eis_l1_20061209_113031.fits’
Following on from Worksheet 2, you can now read the EIS FITS file from the command line:
At line 8 changed one line
(NOTE: you may need to add the path name, depending on where the file is located.)
{{{
IDL> data=obj_new(‘eis_data’,filename)
}}}
At line 10 changed one line
To read an EIS FITS file from the command line, type:
data is an IDL object. Information is extracted from the object through a large number of ''methods'' and some examples are given below.
At line 12 changed one line
IDL> data=obj_new(‘eis_data’,filename)
To determine the coordinates of the center of the raster, do:
At line 14 changed one line
data is an IDL object. You can extract information from the object using various methods. E.g.,
{{{
IDL> xcen=data->getxcen(/raster)
IDL> ycen=data->getycen(/raster)
}}}
At line 16 changed 3 lines
IDL> exp=data->getexp()\\
IDL> xpos=data->getxpos()\\
IDL> wd0=data->getvar(0)\\
To find the exposure time for each exposure of the raster, do:
At line 20 changed one line
wd0 is a 3D array containing the window data for the specified window (0 in this case). You can get a list of all methods by doing:
{{{
IDL> exp=data->getexp()
}}}
At line 22 changed one line
IDL> data->display_methods
A single data window can be extracted by doing:
At line 24 changed one line
To extract the header into a string array, do:
{{{
IDL> wd=data->getvar(195.12)
}}}
At line 26 changed 2 lines
IDL> hdr_obj=data->gethdr()\\
IDL> text=hdr_obj->getbte_hdr()
where the specified wavelength is used to pick out the data window containing that particular wavelength. The first dimension of WD is always wavelength, the second is always solar-Y, and the third can be either solar-X or time depending if the observation was a raster or a sit-and-stare observation.
At line 29 changed one line
A number of useful header tags can be sent to a structure by doing:
A complete list of methods is obtained by doing
At line 31 changed one line
IDL> eis_get_hdr_struc,data,hdrstr
{{{
IDL> data->display_methods
}}}
At line 33 changed one line
To find which wavelength windows are contained in data, do:
while more [detailed information on some methods|EISmethods] is given elsewhere on the EIS wiki.

#Using eis_get_wininfo and the getvar() object method, extract an image in Fe XII 195 by summing all wavelength pixels in the window. Plot the image. What do you have to do to the image to orient it correctly? (You may need to refer to XRT images from Day 1 of the workshop.)

For these exercises you will need to refer to the [EIS object methods page|EISmethods].

#Create and plot an IDL map for the Fe XII 195.12 line by taking the moments of the line.
#Now use the getvar() method to extract the 195.12 wavelength window. Sum the 3D window over the wavelength direction (use the IDL total() routine), and plot the resulting image. How does it compare to the map image plotted above? See the object methods page for why it is different.
#Using the following commands, can you work out the direction that EIS rasters? (east-west, or west-east)
