This IDL routine produces graphs to verify that the Mimir cool down is proceeding at a normal rate. The graphs that are produced are the following:
- Second Stage Comparison Curve
- Second Stage Difference Curve
- 1st Stage Comparison Curve
- 1st Stage Differentce Curve
- Detector and Camera Block Comparison Curve
Notes:
- The routine assumes that you have started a new temper log file at the start of the cool down for the timing to be reasonable consistent.
- It also assumes that you have a maximum of 12000 minutes that you need to compare. If you need more than that you have greater problems.
Installing and Using the Routine
Download the cooldown.zip archive file and unzip it to a directory. It should have everything that is needed to run in the archive. Test and verify that the file does work with your version of IDL. To run use the following commands:
IDL> .r temper_compare
IDL> temper_compare
Once you have verified that the procedure works. To update things to your current data requires that you grep the temperatures out of the temper data file. This is done with the following command
grep A0 20150804.tc.log > temp_0804.dat
where 20150804.tc.log is your current log file and temp_0804.dat is whatever you which to name your temperature data. This name also needs to be changed in the file temper_compare.pro at line 14
;
; Update this with your new data file name
;
new_tfile = 'temp_0804.log'
