rand2ck1 - Convert camera angles in Rand format to Naif ckernel
This program reads the camera angles in a Rand formatted ascii table
file and writes them out to a NAIF type-1 (discreet) camera kernel
(c-kernel).

After a c-kernel is created it should be documented by running the
NAIF prorgram commnt.  An ASCII comment file will need to be supplied
to the commnt program.  For an example of the comments see

        /home/dcook/isis/apps/gen/sample_ck_comments.sav

To run commnt type

        /usgs/naif/ctools/exe/commnt

and follow the prompts.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Parm	Description
MISSION	This is the spacecraft name that will be translated to a NAIF instrument code and used to specify the encoding of the spacecraft clock time.
INSTRUM	This parameter is for MISSION=VOYAGER 1 or 2 only. It is ignored for all other missions, but required for Voyager. The program builds Voyager ck files based on actual pointing instances for the instrument instead of the scan platform like other missions so separate ck files are created for each Voyager camera.
RANDFROM	This file is a RAND (Mert Davies), ascii geometry table file. Typical extension is rand.
SCLKFROM	This file is a NAIF ascii spacecraft clock file.
LEAPFILE	This is the NAIF leapseconds kernel file needed to convert the start time in the geometry table to ephemeris seconds past J2000 and finally to the encoded spacecraft clock ticks stored in the output c-kernel.
CK1TO	This is the name of the NAIF type-1 camera kernel. It will the contain discreet pointing data from the input file GEMFROM in a single segment.
INSTID	This is the NAIF instrument id for the input data. NAIF supported instrument id's are listed in the file naif_ids.req. MISSION instrument id Clementine UVVIS -40002 Galileo Orbiter SSI -77001 Voyager 1 ISSNA -31001 Voyager 1 ISSWA -31002 Voyager 2 ISSNA -32001 Voyager 2 ISSWA -32002 Viking Orbiter 1 all -27000 Viking Orbiter 2 all -30000 Cassini all -82000 Lunar Orbiter 2 all -532000 Lunar Orbiter 3 all -533000 Lunar Orbiter 4 all -534000 Lunar Orbiter 5 all -535000
REFFRAM	This is the NAIF code for the inertial frame of the data. Typical values are J2000 or B1950.
SEGID	This is an identifying string to reference the data. Example: "GLL SCAN PLT -- NAIF -- 18-NOV-90" would identify a ck as Galileo Orbiter scan platform pointing created by NAIF on November 18, 1990.
TOL	The search tolerance is used both to screen kernels as well as to locate pointing data for a specific instance in time. The beginning and ending times recorded in the header of the ck created will be the earliest time less TOL and the latest time plus TOL for each segment. This padding prevents times matching the actual first and last entries from failing the ck screening.
