Parameter Groups
Files
Name
Description
FROM
Input raw file
TO
Output Isis cube
Raw file dimensions
Name
Description
SAMPLES Number of samples in raw image
LINES Number of lines in raw image
BANDS Number of bands in raw image
SKIP Number of bytes to skip before reading data
Data specifications
Special Pixels
Files :
FROM
Description
Use this parameter to select the raw filename. If multi-band, it
is assumed to be in band sequential order.
Type

*.raw
Files :
TO
Description
Use this parameter to select the output filename
Type

Filter
*.cub
Raw file dimensions :
SAMPLES
Description
This defines the number of samples in the raw image.
Raw file dimensions :
LINES
Description
This defines the number of lines in the raw image.
Raw file dimensions :
BANDS
Description
This defines the number of bands in the raw image. If
greater than 1, the image is assumed to be in band sequential
order.
Raw file dimensions :
SKIP
Description
This defines the number of bytes to skip before the actual image
data is read. This would be for raw images with header data.
Data specifications :
BITTYPE
Description
Bit type of data:
8 bit,
16 bit signed, or
32 bit
Type
string
Default
UNSIGNEDBYTE
Option List:
Option
Brief
Description
UNSIGNEDBYTE 8 bit data
Pixels are in 8-bit data range (0 to 255).
UNSIGNEDWORD 16 bit unsigned data
Pixels are in 16 bit unsigned data range (0 to 65535)
SIGNEDWORD 16 bit signed data
Pixels are in 16 bit signed data range (-32767 to 32767)
REAL 32 bit data
Pixels are in the 32 bit floating point data range
Data specifications :
BYTEORDER
Description
Indicates the byte order of the data. Options are LSB (Least
Significant Byte firs) or MSB (Most Significant Byte first).
Type
string
Default
LSB
Option List:
Option
Brief
Description
LSB Least Significant Byte
Least Significant Byte first. Possible architectures include:
Intel and Amd.
MSB Most Significant Byte
Most Significant Byte first. Possible architectures include:
Sun and Mac.
Special Pixels :
SETNULLRANGE
Description
If this option is used input raw pixels below minimum and
above maximum will be converted to LRS and HRS respectively. Otherwise
pixels in the input raw file will be left unchanged in most cases. For
example, importing a raw 8-bit file and outputing to a 16-bit or 32-bit real will
cause 0 and 255 to be actual values. If left as 8-bit then 0 will
be NULL and 255 will be HRS.
Type
boolean
Default
NO
Inclusions
Special Pixels :
NULLMIN
Description
Minimum valid value. Anything below this value will be
set to LRS.
Special Pixels :
NULLMAX
Description
Maximum valid value. Anything above this value will be
set to HRS.
Special Pixels :
SETHRSRANGE
Description
If this option is used input raw pixels below minimum and
above maximum will be converted to LRS and HRS respectively. Otherwise
pixels in the input raw file will be left unchanged in most cases. For
example, importing a raw 8-bit file and outputing to a 16-bit or 32-bit real will
cause 0 and 255 to be actual values. If left as 8-bit then 0 will
be NULL and 255 will be HRS.
Type
boolean
Default
NO
Inclusions
Special Pixels :
HRSMIN
Description
Minimum valid value. Anything below this value will be
set to LRS.
Special Pixels :
HRSMAX
Description
Maximum valid value. Anything above this value will be
set to HRS.
Special Pixels :
SETLRSRANGE
Description
If this option is used input raw pixels below minimum and
above maximum will be converted to LRS and HRS respectively. Otherwise
pixels in the input raw file will be left unchanged in most cases. For
example, importing a raw 8-bit file and outputing to a 16-bit or 32-bit real will

Special Pixels :
LRSMAX
Description
Maximum valid value. Anything above this value will be
set to HRS.
