    Data maintenance macros

    1. concat.fcrao
      • Concatenates .bur files with previous data set, or if no previous data set exists, it starts a new one
      • Output into .con file
      • Updates history.log file
    2. scanload.fcrao
      • Modreads in observations to a .bur file from the modcomp
      • Updates history.log file with file name, scan numbers, weather quality, and number of maps
    3. diskload.fcrao
      • Loads observations to a .bur file from a .t file
      • Updates history.log file with file name, scan numbers, weather quality, and number of maps

    Data Reduction macros

    1. redux12co.fcrao/redux13co.fcrao
      • Reduces a .con file, and creates a .sum file
      • Asks for input file, NX, and an output file
    2. reduxall.fcrao
      • Reduces concatenated data along any axis and for all pixels
      • Asks for input file, row number, NX, PA-90, XOFF, and output file
    3. plotrms.fcrao
      • Plots the rms for each observation in the input file
      • Assumes file is already open for input
    4. plotrms0.fcrao
      • Does the same thing as plotrms, but for galaxies with PA-90 of -90
    5. plotrms2.fcrao/plotrms02.fcrao
      • Plots the rms vs. scan in a different color, without rescaling the window
      • Useful for comparing changed rms with that of a previous file
    6. rms-tsys.fcrao
      • Plots rms vs. TSYS for each scan in an input file
      • Useful for examining large .bas files
    7. rms-tsys2.fcrao
      • Plots rms vs. TSYS in a different color for rms values that don't fall near the theoretical proportion to TSYS

    Data Analysis macros

    1. mdyn.fcrao
      • Calculates and plots the cumulative dynamical mass vs. galactocentric distance
      • Asks for .sum file, distance, and inclination angle
    2. mdyn0.fcrao
      • Does the same thing for galaxies with PA-90 of -90
    3. mmajor.fcrao/mmajor0.fcrao
      • Calculates and plots the cumulative H2 mass vs. galactocentric distance along the major axis
      • Asks for .sum file, distance, and inclination angle
    4. rotproj.fcrao
      • Rotates data for a galaxy to be vertical, and deprojects it to be face on
      • Asks for .all file, PA-90, and inclination angle
      • Creates a .pro file
    5. mring.fcrao
      • Calculates and plots the cumulative H2 mass vs. galactocentric distance using ring method
      • Asks for .pro file and distance
    6. masscomp.fcrao
      • Plots the dynamical mass on the same plot as the H2 mass
    7. ploti.fcrao/ploti0.fcrao
      • Plots the integrated intensity as a function of galactocentric distance for all observations in the input file
    8. ploti2.fcrao/ploti02.fcrao
      • Plots the integrated intensity in a different color without rescaling or clearing
    9. ratio.fcrao/ratio0.fcrao
      • Plots the ratio of 12CO to 13CO
      • Asks for 12CO sum file and 13CO sum file
