DESCRIPTION

The program converts an ARV format to an ACIS FITS level 1 format. Note: The program converts from the readx, ready in ARV format to chipx, chipy in FITS file, respectively.

OPTIONS

Options may be abbreviated. Options which take values may be separated from their values either by white space.

The options are :
