Up to 250 time ranges may be used to sort the data. Times may be input as either offset times or modified Julian date. MJDs must be prefixed with an 'M'; times may be seperated by either a space or a colon. The following are acceptable:
Up to 132 characters may be used on the prompt line to specify time ranges. Alternatively the name of a file may be given e.g.TIMRANGE> 102.3 405.6 1230.0 1500.0 TIMRANGE> 102.3:405.6 1230.0:1500.0 TIMRANGE> M48401.3356789 M48401.3367890 M48401.4 M48402.0 TIMRANGE> M48401.3356789:M48401.3367890 M48401.4:M48402.0
The file TIMES.DAT must then contain a list of start and stop times. The recommended format is:TIMRANGE> TIMES.DAT
M48401.335678 M48401.336890
M48401.535678 M48401.636890
M48401.735678 M48401.936890
etc....
The same file may be used to select time ranges in the WFC sorting
program, WFCSORT, so that extracting simultaneous data from the
two instruments becomes trivial. In this case the above format for
the time windows, i.e. MJDs seperated by a space, MUST be used.
