Starting the DCR Tool

To start AIPS++, issue the aipsinit.sh command as shown above (if not already issued) and enter the UNIX command:

aips++ -l dcr.g

This will start the AIPS++ system and open a pgplotter window to be used for showing DCR results. An instance of the DCR tool can then be started from the Glish prompt as follows:

- mydcr := dcr('pnt_prime_01_DCR')

You see a GUI which includes quick access to a number of common functions. Note that this particular instance of the DCR tool is attached to the specified data set. Use the complete path to specify that data set if it is not in the directory from which AIPS++ was started. To look at data from another data set within the same AIPS++ session, simply open another DCR tool as follows:

- mydcr2 := dcr('pnt_prime_02_DCR')

When access to one of the instances of the tool is no longer needed, it can be closed down by:

- mydcr2.done()
