From Tbalonek@mail.colgate.edu Tue Aug 14 10:30:31 2001 Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2001 18:43:11 -0400 From: Tom Balonek To: 'Roban Hultman Kramer' Cc: "'Martin, Stephan E'" Subject: RE: Roper Scientific / Princeton Instruments SPE headers Roban, I'll check out your web info in detail later tonight. Below is info I got from Roper on format of header for version 2.5.x. This differs from info provided in the manuals! I suspect your 2.4.4 version is similar in format. Note date is indeed with month in alphabetic format. Note also that the exposure time is NOT where early versions of header says (and it is NOT in several places as earlier manuals seem to imply). It is in bytes 10-13, as floating point. <> here is what my program produces for a header for one of your images (I already emailed this to you, Steve): image name (williams_versarray): williams_versarray.SPE --> williams_versarray.SPE.i te> imhead williams_versarray williams_versarray[1300,1340][long]: No bad pixels, min=0., max=0.
