PARAMETERS

CDSAR is controlled by the following global parameters:

Name     Prompt                                  Count     Type
CDDIR    CD Directory                            1-64      Char
FILE     Database File Name                      1-64      Char
CDIC     CD Input Channel list                   1-2       Int
DBOC     CD Output Channel list                  1-2       Int
TEX1     Database Descriptive Text 1             0-64      Char
SARTYPE  SAR Type: ERS/RADARSAT                  3-8       Char
FLIPSAR  Flip Scan SAR Image                     0-3       Char
REPORT   Report Mode: TERM/OFF/filename          1-64      Char

The following parameters receive output:

ORBIT    Orbit Segment                           1         Int
A0SEG    SAR Scaling Offset Segment              1         Int
ASCALSEG SAR Scaling Gain Segment                1         Int
DBGC     Database Ground Control Segment         1         Int

CDDIR

Specifies the name of the CD directory. All files should be contained inside the directory.

 EASI>CDDIR="cddir"
See example on how to enter the CDDIR for different operating systems.

FILE

Specifies the name of the PCIDSK file to receive data. This file will be created automatically and must not already exist.

 EASI>FILE="filespec"

CDIC

Specifies the list of channels to read from the CD. For each channel specified, a channel will be created on the PCIDSK file (FILE).

 EASI>CDIC=i,j,...,p

DBOC

Optionally specifies the output channel. This parameter is only for single look complex data. If DBOC is set to 1, the real and imagery part of the single look complex data will be converted into an intensity image. If DBOC is set to 1 and 2, the real and imagery parts will be stored separately into output channels 1 and 2.

 EASI>DBOC=1            | convert the single look complex data into
                        | an intensity image
 EASI>DBOC=1,2          | store real and imagery part separately
                        | into 1 and 2
 EASI>DBOC=             | defaults to 1

TEX1

Optionally specifies a line of text describing the file. Typically this would contain information identifying the location of the data and the CD reference number.

 EASI>TEX1="string"

SARTYPE

Specifies whether the image is an ERS image or RADARSAT image.

 EASI>SARTYPE="ERS"            | the image is an ERS image
 EASI>SARTYPE="RADARSAT"       | the image is a RADARSAT image

FLIPSAR

If the input image is RADARSAT Scan SAR, this parameter specifies whether the Scan SAR should be flipped north up and east right. Default is YES. If FLIPSAR is set to NO, the user will not be able to generate ortho image correctly using PCI satellite modelling software.

 EASI>FLIPSAR=                  | Flip image north up and east right
 EASI>FLIPSAR="YES"             | Flip image north up and east right
 EASI>FLIPSAR="NO"              | Do not flip image

REPORT

Specifies where the CD information report should be directed. This report contains CD header and orbital information.

 EASI>REPORT="filename"
 EASI>REPORT=                   | defaults to terminal output
Note: The following names have special meaning:

 EASI>REPORT="TERM"     | generates reports on your terminal
 EASI>REPORT="DISK"     | generates reports on file "IMPRPT.LST"
 EASI>REPORT="OFF"      | cancels report generation

ORBIT

This parameter receives the number of the segment in which the orbital information was saved.

A0SEG

This parameter receives the number of the array segment created to receive the SAR scaling offset read from the "Radiometric Data" record, if one was processed.

ASCALSEG

This parameter receives the number of the array segment created to receive the SAR scaling gain table read from the "Radiometric Data" record, if one was processed.

DBGC

This parameter receives the number of the segment of Ground Control Points read from the SAR data records. If the GCP information is not available from the SAR data records, no GCP segment will be produced. If the GCP information is available, up to 255 geographic ("LONG/LAT") GCPs are produced.
