ISIS - Cannot edit BSS_VHEL in fits header

Post by Robin Leadbeater »

I am helicocentric correcting some reduced spectra using the manual velocity correction feature in ISIS.
("misc" , "heliocentric velocity" , "apply a spectral shift")

I want to put the correction in the fits header but the BSS_VHEL field is greyed out and is only filled if heliocentric correction is selected during the full data reduction procedure. Does anyone know how to enter data in BSS_VHEL manually ?

Thanks
Robin

This is getting silly :-(

If I open the profile (produced by 5.5.1) in 5.4.1, I can then edit BSS_VHEL and save it. :)
But if I then open this file in 5.5.1 I find the GEO_ fields have been reset to zero. :cry: Why did 5.4.1 remove the GEO_ keywords from the header ? :roll:
Surely no program should delete any of the keywords from the original header when resaving the file.

Robin, I have just modified the V5.5.1 for you. Reload the V5.5.1 installer and install a new time ISIS. You can now edit Vh field (the only difference in
the interface is visible in the "Configuration" tab - you can read for the version V5.5.1a, not V5.5.1).

Hi Christian,

Editing and saving VHEL now works but any text entered in the comments fields is still not saved

Cheers

Robin, I have really never supported FITS comments save in ISIS. It's an assumed decision. For me a dangerous option, I am very cautious relative to this for the moment. Sorry.
