Exporting data products from HIPE

This page lists examples and recipes for exporting HIPE data (images, spectra, cubes and source lists) to external applications.

IDL

Images

IDL> im = mrdfits('/path/image.fits',1)
% Compiled module: FXMOVE.
% Compiled module: MRD_HREAD.
% Compiled module: FXPAR.
% Compiled module: GETTOK.
% Compiled module: VALID_NUM.
% Compiled module: MRD_SKIP.
MRDFITS: Image array (2012,2009)  Type=Real*8
% Compiled module: SWAP_ENDIAN_INPLACE.

Spectra

IDL> spec = mrdfits('/path/1342187893_spectrum_point_HR_unapod.fits',2)
% Compiled module: MATCH.
% Compiled module: MRD_STRUCT.
MRDFITS: Binary table.  4 columns by  2061 rows.

Cubes

IDL> cube = mrdfits('/path/1342192180_MR_SLW_unapod_cube.fits',2)
MRDFITS: Image array (16,18,374)  Type=Real*8
IDL> help,cube

CLASS

The FITS files produced with the hiClass task in HIPE on HIFI data can be read in CLASS with the following commands

    file out MyHIFISpectra.hifi mul
    fits read MyHIFISpectra.fits
#
# Now you have a CLASS file named MyHIFISpectra.hifi (you can use whatever you want as an 
# extension) you can access like you always do in CLASS:
#
    file in MyHIFISpectra.hifi
    find
    get first
    set unit f i
    device image white
    plot
