16.2 TSPSUBS library
The TSPSUBS library has been extended to support 3 dimensional datasets (time series images) and
rewritten to make use of the NDF package rather than direct calls to HDS. This means that TSP now
supports SIMPLE as well as PRIMITIVE NDFs and will benefit from subsequent additions to the NDF
package.
16.3 Figaro File access
All access to Figaro files is now through the DSA package, allowing TSP to benefit from
the new Figaro 3.0 feature of accessing NDF files as well as DST files. Now that Figaro
supports NDF it is not strictly necessary for TSP to use DSA at all, since it could access
Figaro files via NDF. However, for the moment the use of DSA has been retained to allow
DST files to be accessed as well, which is particularly convenient when working on old
data.
16.4 Bad Pixel Handling
Most TSP commands now support the handling and propagation of bad pixels.
