Hinode/EIS Remote Planning CPT (RPCPT)

Overview

Because CPT is to be run on the eisco@ISAS machine, a command-line version of CPT has been developed. It is essentially the same program as the GUI used in the Planning Tools, but without the widgets.

As a convenience, an ascii file is saved whenever CPT is tested using the GUI in the Planning Tools. This file contains all the input parameters required by CPT to run successfully. This file is saved in the archive that goes back to eisco@ISAS when the remote planner has completed the plan on their own machine. This version of CPT will ingest this file (if it exists) and automatically enter the parameters. They may also be modified later.

  1. Create an eis_rp_cpt object. (Don't panic!) This will ingest the $HOME/eis_cpt_properties.txt file if it finds it.
  2. If necessary, modify CPT properties
  3. Test CPT
  4. Run CPT
  5. Quit CPT
