RHDSPLOT

Read ASCII files of Hatfield Polarimeter Data.

Function

Read ASCII files of Hatfield Polarimeter Data.

Description

RHDSPLOT reads ASCII files created by Tim Peacock’s HDSPLOT program from raw Hatfield Polarimeter Data. It outputs time series datasets with either 3 or 6 wavelengths channels, depending on which version of the polarimeter the data came from.

This command is superseded by RHATPOL which can reduce Hatfield polarimetry data directly from the raw data files.
