TCI_MERGE

Merges timing information from one timing structure into another

Invocation

CALL TCI_MERGE( NMER, MERID, OUTID, TBASE, TOFFS, STATUS )

Description

Merging timing description consists of the following steps,

1) Merge the observation start times. The earliest is chosen 2) Merge exposure times. These are simply added 3) Merge the observation lengths. The merged observation length is the sum of the inputs 4) Merge the live time slots

Arguments

• NMER = INTEGER (given)
  Number of timing structures to merge
• MERID[] = INTEGER (given)
  ADI identifiers of the timing structures to merge
• OUTID = INTEGER (returned)
  ADI identifier of the timing structure to merge into
• TBASE = INTEGER (returned)
  Number of input which formed reference time
• TOFFS[] = DOUBLE PRECISION (returned)
  The timing offset of each input wrt the new timing origin (secs)
• STATUS = INTEGER (given and returned)
  The global status.
