dcsmix [ parameter=value ... ] [ inputfile ... outputfile ]
Parameters are: platform_id, start_date, end_date, master_file.
dcsmix sorts and merges DCS data from one or more input datasets, and produces one output dataset. This function can be used to select specific platforms from the input datasets, select data collected during a specified date range, or select data that lies within the boundaries of a user-defined master dataset.
Earth location for the dataset is not copied to the output dataset; therefore, all DCS data should be navigated using dcsloc prior to using dcsmix.
The data is stored in the output dataset in the order it is encountered in the input datasets. Data is not sorted by platform, date, or time.
One or more TeraScan datasets are required for input, followed by one output TeraScan dataset.
This is a list of platform identification numbers. Enter 0 to select all platforms.
Valid responses are [0 or a list of platform identification numbers separated by spaces]. The default [0].
This is the start date for data selection and mixing.
Any valid date is allowed. See formats for information on date formats. The default is [70/01/01].
This is the end date for data selection and mixing. This parameter prompt is only generated if a date other than 70/01/01 is entered for start_date.
Any valid date is allowed. See formats for information on date formats. The default is [start_date].
This is the name of the master dataset. If a master dataset name is entered, only data that lies within the boundaries of the master dataset will be selected. If a master_file name is not entered, then all points will be selected.
Valid responses are any TeraScan dataset with an earth transform. The default is [].
Select all DCS data from the dataset named hugo.dcs that covers the experiment area defined by the master dataset named Master. Use the function dcslist to examine the output dataset.
