Contents: Description, Arguments, Usage Supported Under Version: >1.69 Current Davinci Version: 2.27 64-bit Safe: No Description Load an IR Paci file Arguments and Return Values Arguments: A filename and load options Return Value: A numeric array Usage Syntax: load_paci(filename = STRING [, frame = INT or band = int] [, report = 1] [, nosig = 1] [, swap = 1] [, quiet = 0/1/2]) The load_paci function reads an IR paci file into memory and organizes in various ways depending on user input. The user can specifiy a band OR frame number and only those data that match are loaded. If the user sets report=1 then only a summary report is given back (and no data are loaded). Each frame of data has 6 control values tacked on to the front of the frame and 2 value tacked on the back. The first 2 values are the starting sync word, the next value is the ID, then band number then two numbers for the frame number. The last two values are the ending sync value. If the user does NOT want these values to be returned with the data, then use: nosig=1 (defualt is nosig=0). There are two major forms for IR paci data, byte-swapped and NOT byte-swapped. If the data is from the Ratheon GSE (in Santa Barbara) then it is byte-swapped. Other-wise it is not. If the data is NOT byte-swapped, swap=0 must be issued since swap=1 is the default value. Finally, various information about the condition of the data, missing information, skipped and/or repeated information is displayed. To modify this a quiet value can be issued (defualt: quiet=0) with the following results: quiet=0: Full reporting quiet=1: Only print end summary quiet=2: Print nothing except fatal errors
