The SWS COB files have been delivered by the spectrometer (LWS/SWS) ISG and a script called get_location.csh is used to extract a COB file for a certain revolution or observation.

This script uses the swscaldetails table to find the correct COB file for a particular revolution or observation.

Post Operations

A script caldetails.pl has been used to extract the COBs from the ISGs repositories and they have been manually copied to the directory /pmadata/, where all linked and viewable data resides, and ordered by file type and instrument.
