scatterdb_convert - converts old style scattering database to new style scattering database.

SYNOPSIS

scatterdb_convert [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

Copies the scatterdb to outputdb adding fields to adhere to the new style scattering database required by scatter-1.0.1 and greater.

The hdosxform_db and mirror_db are used to determine the zone geometry in the body center coordinates.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

hdosxformdb: RDB database mirror dimensions. See FILES.
mirrordb: RDB database of mirror positions. See FILES.
scatterdb: RDB database of zone positions and scattering distribution files. See FILES.
outputdb: File into which the output is written.
help: Print brief usage information and exit.
usage: Print usage information and exit.
version: Print version information and exit.

EXAMPLE

  scatterdb_convert                                                  \
    --hdosxformdb /proj/axaf/simul/databases/mirror/hdos_xform.rdb  \
    --mirrordb /proj/axaf/simul/databases/mirror/EKCHDOS06.rdb      \
    --scatterdb /proj/axaf/simul/databases/scatter/HDOS_980623a.rdb \
    --outputdb ./HDOS_980623a.rdb

FILES

HDOS Transform Database

The HDOS transform database must contain the mirror name, mirror end cut position, and mirror length in the mirror, Z_ec, and L columns respectively.

Mirror Database

The mirror database must contain the mirror name and Z position of the body center of the optic in the mirror and z0 columns respectively.

The scatter database must contain the mirror name, Z position of the zone minimum, Z position of the zone maximum, and the binary format scattering distribution file in the mirror, zmin, zmax, and scat_file columns respectively.
