[daip] CONFI.FOR

[Leonia Kogan]

Douglas,

My last modification of CONFI was carried out at February 29, 2000.
At that time I increased the sise of the mask(topography) file to 
2000x2000 and changed a little bit its format.

If you run mid night job you have to have the last version of CONFI.

Anyway you can look your CONFI version at $YPGNOT/CONFI.FOR
If the eights line is 

      PARAMETER (MXMASK = 2000*2000)

then you have the last version, else not.

I am ready to send you the last version codes if you do not have it.
As it written in the help file:

  IN2FILE....Filename of the mask - restricted positions
             Three columns at the file:
             1. Pixel number at X;  I4
             2. Pixel number at Y;  I5
                Y changes faster than X (Scan by Y for each new X)
             3. Restricted (0) or not restricted (1);  I2
                Position of the given pixel in meters is determined
                by the two dimensional array CELL,

format of the file's row is I4,I5,I2.

A sample of the topographical  file is following:

   1    1 1
   2    1 1
   3    1 1
   4    1 1
   5    1 0
   6    1 0
   7    1 1
   8    1 1
   9    1 1
  10    1 1

The task CONFI has many option so it can be look complicate at the beginning.
The strategy of the topography fitting should include rotation and shifting 
at the first stage. 

Feel free to ask me any question about it

Leonia

Leonia,

I have read about your development of CONFI.FOR in your recent ALMA memo. I 
would like to use it to apply our site constraints to antenna placement 
optimisation for the One Hectare Telescope we are planning. May I use it? Our 
31DEC99 AIPS has a version of it, but I expect it is not the most recent version 
with your topographical input code. If it would be OK, I would like to have a 
copy of your code, and perhaps a sample topographical input file to see the 
format.

cheers

Douglas
