How to Obtain a Directory Listing of Data Files

Data is stored on CACCC's disk, which is cross-mounted on the ATCA Unix machines. A directory listing of data files on this disk may be obtained by listing the contents of the directory /DATA/CACCC_1, which you can access from an xterm logged in to ATCA Unix machine.



 To list your own data:     
 % ls /DATA/CACCC_1/*.nnn  Where nnn is your project code number.  



Data is stored in RPFITS format. This format is a real-time version of FITS, specific to the ATCA, and requires the AIPS or MIRIAD task ATLOD to get the data into AIPS. If you are an overseas visitor, you may need to convert your data to standard FITS format. This must be done with AIPS software on one of the workstations. If you are unfamiliar with AIPS please seek advice.
