NAME

cal_tables -- Edit the parameter set that specifies calibration files to be used.

USAGE

cal_tables

DESCRIPTION

The cal_tables parameters specify the High Speed Photometer (HSP) calibration tables to be used by many hsp tasks.

Note that this is a pset, not an executable task; it defines a set of parameters used by other tasks. Invoking the pset by name runs eparam on the parameter set, allowing the user to modify the parameters. Alternatively, the parameters may be modified on the command line by specifying the pset name and parameter name, for example, the user can type "cal_tables.ccp1=ccp1file" to set only the ccp1 parameter. Parameters can also be edited by using eparam on the calling task (e.g., by typing "eparam darkv"), in which case, cal_tables will appear as one of the task parameters; the cal_tables parameters may then be edited by positioning the cursor on the line containing the pset name and typing ":e". After editing the pset parameters, type Control-Z (or :q) to return to the main task parameter menu.
