NAME

Astro::FITS::HdrTrans::SCUBA2 - JCMT SCUBA-2 translations

DESCRIPTION

Converts information contained in SCUBA-2 FITS headers to and from generic headers. See Astro::FITS::HdrTrans for a list of generic headers.

METHODS

this_instrument

The name of the instrument required to match (case insensitively) against the INSTRUME/INSTRUMENT keyword to allow this class to translate the specified headers. Called by the default can_translate method.

  $inst = $class->this_instrument();

Returns "SCUBA-2".

COMPLEX CONVERSIONS

These methods are more complicated than a simple mapping. We have to provide both from- and to-FITS conversions All these routines are methods and the to_ routines all take a reference to a hash and return the translated value (a many-to-one mapping) The from_ methods take a reference to a generic hash and return a translated hash (sometimes these are many-to-many)

to_OBSERVATION_MODE

If Observation type is SCIENCE, return the sample mode, else return the sample mode and observation type. For example, "STARE", "SCAN", "SCAN_POINTING".

Do not currently take into account polarimeter or FTS.
