Recent Changes in IDL WLM Routines



  1. February 21, 2001: Fixed bug in wlm_apply.pro
    1. Problem: Sheng noticed that on track 6459, the phases in the noise spectrum were no longer smoothly variable from one channel to the next.
      Fix: The routine wlm_apply.pro was in effect assuming that the pointers to the channel data from pcl[] and dat_get_rows.pro were the same. In general this is not the case, and therefore the coherence corrections were being applied to the wrong data. Not all tracks are affected, but it is advised to re-reduce previous tracks analyzed with WLM data.
  2. February 19, 2001: Changed IDL login procedure in pro_mir_init.pro
    1. Problem: The IDL code assumed that the UNIX username is the same as database username.
      Fix: IDL now prompts for the user name. The default is the UNIX username, and if this correct, only return needs to be entered.
