March 1993 Mike Combi - spectra, images Bob Gehrz - IR data, meteor studies Karen Meech - images, astrometry Wayne Kinzel - radio data, IR imagery Anita Cochran - spectra, photometry Dave Schliecher - photometry and polarimetry, radio lines Monica Womack - photometry, spectra Mike DiSanti - spectra, IR data Al Schultz - near-nucleus images, IR photometry Jack Brandt - large-scale images, near-nucleus images Dear Reviewer, Here is the basic outline for the review we will follow: 1. Organize an effort to allow each scientist to focus on areas 2. Propose a timetable for collecting and distributing comments 3. Provide Catalog Report and helpful hints to get started 4. Request initial comments to assemble for all participants 5. Hold "telecon" to share concerns and progress in the review 6. Propose outline for a "workshop" with topics gained from telecon 7. Settle on procedure for Catalog Report and Peer Review Document 8. Solicit final comments one week before workshop and distribute 9. Workshop used to outline problems, solutions, and draft report 10. Compose report (with exceptions if needed) for electronic review We have set some target dates to guide us in the IHW Archive review. We ask for your early e-mail comments so we can summarize by April 5 (send to the address of our User Interface, "pdsuser@astro.umd.edu") and forward to each reviewer before a tentatively scheduled telecon for April 13. (The workshop at LASP (Boulder) is May 18-20). Indicate via e-mail by March 20 a 2-hr block on Apr 13th that may be open? In addition, can you acknowledge by then if the PDS-IHW Catalog Report has reached you directly from JPL; by May, we ask that you look this over for the "discipline" information listed next to your name. Ed Grayzeck Mike A'Hearn Small Bodies Node Participants have asked for some added information to use the Archive. Please read the insert booklet in CD-ROM 1 jewel box as it contains the latest addenda information. On each CD-ROM is a structure file (CDTREE.TXT) located in the DOCUMENT subdirectory that tells you what to expect. The general grouping is for CD 1-18 to be large-scale images, and CD 19-23 a mixture of all data organized chronologically. (We are not reviewing disc 24 as it contains GZ and Crommelin data.) Relevant CDs for Data organized by Discipline large-scale images on CDs 1-18, use 18 as it holds a summary index; the subsample images and calibration are also on CDs 19-23 astrometry data on CDs 19-23, but historical data only on 23 infrared data on CDs 19-23, use 23 which has calibration and filters; index tables for IR photmetry and polarimetry may be useful near-nucleus images on CDs 19-23 photometry (magnitude and flux) data on CDs 19-23, use index tables as relevant information is contained in these files radio radar and occulation data are on CD 19-20, check the index table radio line data on CDs 19-23; continuum data only in FITS header file spectra (reduced, digitized, and raw) are on CDs 19-23, but the calibration only occurs on 23; data are mixed meteor data occurs only on CD 23, index tables may be useful Suggested Software Approaches MS-DOS: FTB - FITS table "browser", requires that IHW FITS be concatenated. IMDISP - display of images, plotting of spectra PCDECLSP (DECOMP.C) - decompression of 16 bit IHW data MAC-OS: BROWSER 3.0 - image manipulation, display of spectra, table viewer for concatenated FITS files, IHW FITS, and PDS labels IDL: contact "idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov" for library routines such as FITSRD IRAF: concatenate files, use load routines (dataio, rfits) for data type. SBN User Interface: login to "pdssbn.astro.umd.edu", userid (pdsuser), register, choose terminal type, set "xhost pdssbn.astro.umd.edu", and indicate remote host (may need IP address). Statistics for full archive are loaded, but only CD 19 has been indexed. A user invokes SAOIMAGE, Super Mongo to view images and spectra; no support for tables except UNIX commands VMS: An "image" display utility assembled by the Imaging Node of PDS for labels; copy via SPAN from JPLPDS::DISK$USER1:[CDROM.VAX]*.COM. (There are 3 files, CDROM_UTILITY, CDROM_VMS, and CDROM_TAE) Hardware Connections by platform This summary includes discussion of various types of computers that may be used to read CD-ROMs with PDS labels and are not listed in the insert booklet found in the jewel box for CD-ROM 1 o Silicon Graphics IRIS Drive: SGI CD-ROM Drive Driver: SGI CD-ROM driver Note: A patch must be made to SGIOS before the SGI driver can access any CD-ROM files containing Extended Attribute Records, e.g. most of the files on this disk. A copy of this patch is available by calling the PDS user support. This patch is not needed for Version 4.0.5 and above. o IBM RS6000 In order to access PDS CD-ROMs, you need to contact IBM user support for the driver at 1-800-426-7378. AIX 3.2 and above will work with PDS CD-ROMs.
