These notes describe how to run the quicklook software
interactively. As of 25 Jun 2009 the quicklook software runs daily at
23:05 JST under the control of a cron task. Normally, there is no need
to follow these instructions.

For the impatient:

#cd  /san_solar/disk3/work/eis/localdata/sdtp/hpw/decomp_new
cd /nasA_solar1/work/eis/localdata/sdtp/hpw/decomp_new
IDL> run_daily_passes,'DD-MMM-YYYY'
IDL> eis_quick_look,'DD-MMM-YYYY'
IDL> eis_quick_look,'DD-MMM-YYYY',/restart ;; on crash
./push_files.sh

----------------------------------------------------------------------

more details . . . 

A quick summary of the quick look process:

[1] cd to the directory

 /san_solar/disk3/work/eis/localdata/sdtp/hpw/decomp_new

[2] get the md files: 

  IDL> run_daily_passes,'DD-MMM-YYYY' ;; eg '07-FEB-2007'

You can also run multiple days by specifying two dates. Note that the
files go to the usual place ($HOME/localdata/sdtp/md).

This routine also does the "split check" and runs the "join" script so
the final files are in the "join" subdirectory.

[3] after this completes make the fits files using

  IDL> eis_quick_look,'DD-MMM-YYY'

if the process crashes IDL or needs to be aborted, you need to restart
IDL and do

  IDL> eis_quick_look,'DD-MMM-YYYY',/restart

This skips the problem file and goes on to the next one. The fits
files are collected in the directory eis_fits_YYYYMMDD. Note that
there is a log in the file eis_fits_YYYYMMDD/eis_md_YYYYMMDD.log.

At the end "eis_quick_look" gzips any fits files that were made, makes
any necessary directories on darts, and makes a script for copying
over the files.

[4] Exit IDL. At the command prompt move the files over

  ./push_files.sh
