moctime Documentation

moctime - Find the time span of a MOC image
MOCTIME - reads a MOC image file to find start time,
number of image lines, line exposure duration,
and crosstrack summing.  From these it calculates
the ending time and calls mgstime to convert
start and end times to: UTC, SCLK, and J2000 formats.

The input MOC image (FROM) must have PDS labels or
ISIS cube labels.


***PROGRAM DETAILS***

Individual program that 'moctime' calls:  mgstime

The listed program have user interface documentation.
The documentation can be accessed by entering TAE
and tutoring each procedure.  For example: TAE>t mgstime


***EXECUTION ALTERNATIVES***

This procedure can run within the ISIS environment, but outside
TAE.  At the unix prompt the following command can be
entered:

Syntax:  moctime    FROM=(moc.imq or moc.cub) [FILEOUT=moc.dat]
                    [EXISTS='overwrite' or 'rename']

 (or)    moctime    (moc.imq or moc.cub) [moc.dat]
                    ['overwrite' or 'rename']

 (or)    moctime.pl (moc.imq or moc.cub) [moc.dat]
                    ['overwrite' or 'rename']
