CCD2FITS: CONVERSION OF CCD FILES TO FITS FORMAT
CCD2FITS,file,ofile
FILE: File to be read
OFILE:Name of output file
Procedure to convert three 8 bit words to two 12 bit words
Writes out in FITS

AUTO2FITS: AUTOMATIC CCD TO FITS CONVERTER
AUTO2FITS,ccdfiles,fitsfiles
CCDFILES: file containing list of files to be read
FITSFILES: file containing list of files to be written
Converts several CCD format files to FITS

CCD12BIT: LYNXX IMAGE READER
CCD12BIT,file,pix2
FILE:file to be read
PIX2:output filename
Procedure to convert three 8 bit words to two 12 bit words

AUTOCCD: MULTIPLE CCD FILE READER
AUTOCCD,filenames,dir,imagecube
FILENAMES: file containing list of files to be read
DIR: string containing location of source directory
IMAGECUBE: name of output image vector

MEDIAN: IMAGE MEDIANS
MEDIAN,imagecube,m,scale
IMAGECUBE: images to find median of
M: name of output image
SCALE: =1 for normalized images, =0 for non-normailized

AUTORED2: LYNXX AUTOMATIC REDUCTION
The operator is queried for all inputs
The image cube must be filled so that the bias images
are first, then the dark15,dark30 and dark60 images.
Then the colors are filled with red, infrared,visible
and blue. Each color should have the 15,30 and 60 second
images in that order.

APPHO:APERTURE PHOTOMETRY
APPHO,image,rad,cts,nbins,x,y or
APPHO,image,rad,counts,xvec,yvec,col=col,resize=resize
RAD: radius of square in pixels; def=3
X,Y: center for remote call
KEYWORDS:
COL: color for circle
RESIZE: expand the image by a factor

APPHOT:APERTURE PHOTOMETRY AND BACKGROUND SUBTRACTION
APPHOT,image,rad,cts,nbins,x,y
APPHOT,image,rad,counts,xvec,yvec,col=col,resize=resize
RAD: radius of square in pixels; def=3
X,Y: center for remote call
KEYWORDS:
COL: color for circle
RESIZE: expand the image by a factor

PERIODOGRAM:PERIOD FINDING PROGRAM
PERIODOGRAM,t,v,p1,p2,np,title
T: observation times
V: observed values
P1,P2: first and last periods to be tested
NP: number of points to be tested
TITLE: optional plot title
OUTPUTS:
pdgm: power(p1 or p2)
p1: frequency
p2: period
finds periods in timed magnitude data

SA: SHIFT AND ADD IMAGES

IMAGE1,IMAGE2: images to be added
IMAGE3: output image
DISPMIN,DISPMAX: limits to the byte scale of the images
shifts and adds two images together

MAKE_GIF: SHIFT AND ADD THREE BAND IMAGES TO PRODUCE
TRUE COLOR IMAGE. WRITTEN INTO A GIF FILE
MAKE_GIF,ri,gi,bi,fileout,warp=warp
RI: red image
GI: green image

FILENAME: file containing star name,RA in h,m,s DEC in d,m,s
HARD: if set will produce a hard copy of the charts

SHORTSTRING: FIND THE PERIOD FOR A DATA SET
SHORTSTRING,time,deltamag,guess
TIME: the time array to be plotted folded over the period
DELTAMAG: the magnitude array to be plotted
GUESS: intial guess at period
