Calnic C Configurable FITS Keyword Values

The file, fitskeywds.dat, contains entries for FITS keywords used by Calnic C. Since it is likely that different data sets will use different keyword values for specifying the same item of interest to Calnic C, flexibility is needed. For example, some FITS files might use the keyword OPT_ELEM to specify the optical component used for an observation. Other FITS files on the other hand, might use the keyword FILTER to specify the same optical component! It is possible to edit the value of the keywords used by Calnic C (see Figure 5.4) while running NICMOSlook. Use the button \fbox {Edit FITS Keywords}
to change these values. From within IDL, simply type nlk_edit_fits_keywords at the prompt. This will pop-up the parameter editor. The changes take effect immediately after hitting the \fbox {Save}
button on the editor pop-up. See section C.3 for the default values.
