Input and Output

The program needs an Ascii text file as input. It has two modes of output. The basic mode produces an HDS file where each column in the input file becomes a separate HDS array in the output file. The second mode obtainable by putting the command word "EVENT" on the command line produces a standard ASTERIX EVENT_DATASET where each column in the input file is written into a LIST in the output file. Each list contains a data array, units if known and the min and max values in the data array. This file can subsequently be converted into an ASTERIX binned datafile using EVBIN.
