This application is designed to validate the syntax for an input file to the Observer Target List app or the Slew/Dither Pattern view. If you are unsure of the format of the input files for these functions, please refer to the online manualdocumentation.
This app has no requirements except java 1.6 or above. There will be a total of 6 products for three platforms and they can be downloaded from this page. Please note that the Observer Target List validation is only for the new format with the meta data.
The app is very simple and has only 2 buttons. A dialog box will pop-up allowing you to select the relevant file for validation. The file will be checked line by line and a message dialog box appears when if an error is encountered. The app will abort after the dialog box is dismissed. The errors need to be corrected sequentially. This is work in progress so the reported error messages may not be informative enough to resolve the problem. If you can't figure out what the error is or you suspect that there is a bug in the validation, please contact Saeid Zoonemat Kermani or the instrument scientist for a follow up.
