GETITIME
Type: Verb
Use: Returns the data set integration time in seconds. If there
is a random parameter ("INTTIM"), this will be the time in
UV data record BPRINT. The rest of the file will be read
and any discrepancies from this INTTIME will be counted
and reported. If this random parameter is not present, the
times in all UV data records from BPRINT to EPRINT will be
examined and any jumps of 0.1 seconds or more will be
counted in a large array. Then the routine finds the 4
highest counts and reports them and their location (in
integer 0.1 seconds). The INTTIME returned is the time
increment of the highest count. The other counts are
displayed to provide information on how consistent this
determination might be. Warning - some highly edited and
time averaged data sets can confound this process totally.
Adverbs:
INNAME......UV data set name(name). Standard defaults.
INCLASS.....UV data set name(class). Standard defaults.
INSEQ.......UV data set name(seq. #). 0 => highest.
INDISK......Disk drive # of image. 0 => any.
BPRINT......First UV data set sample used. <= 0 -> 1
EPRINT......Last UV data set sample used. < BPRINT -> max
Output adverb
INTTIME.....Data set integration time in seconds.
