Processing Notes

The files below should be added to your own files of the same name within your home directory. They contain important and useful aliases for use with 'marsdata' programs and data. It is important that you have the correct system variables set when working with these datasets.

They can also be found in '/home/marsdata/common/scripts/basics/'

.cshrc (Basic environmental variables) This file should be renamed or added to '.cshrc' in your home directory.

.alias (Basic aliases and variables which should be set by anyone using marsdata's data, programs, etc.) This file should be renamed to '.alias' and sourced from '.cshrc'

The marsdata user also has additional settings. Feel free to have a look at ~marsdata/.cshrc and ~marsdata/.alias and copy-paste to your own files.

Getting Started with ISIS:

In particular, ISIS2 and ISIS3 must be initiated on their own (they have conflicting paths).

In your .cshrc file, do not add any ISIS paths to $PATH. just add an $OLD_PATH environmental variable,which will be called when/if you switch between versions of ISIS:

set old_path = ($PATH) - after $PATH is set, which may be done in .login or later in your .cshrc file)

Be sure to do the following to correctly setup isis aliases in your .alias file

alias setisis /home/marsdata/.marsdata_isis_startup

alis setisis3beta /home/marsdata/.marsdata_isis3startup

Just type 'setisis' or 'setisis3beta' to start using ISIS.

Using NAIF Toolkit with IDL:

Your .idl_startup file should contain the following lines in order to call the CSPICE programs

• setenv IDL_DLM_PATH "<IDL_DEFAULT>:/home/marsdata/common/naif/icy/lib/"
• setenv IDL_PATH $IDL_PATH":/home/marsdata/usgs/isisr_exe/idl:/+/home/marsdata/usgs/isis/idl/"

Using Vanilla with TES Data

Program call > vanilla $TESDATA < rest of command>

$TESDATA should be set to /home/mardata/mars/TES/data/ which will make vanilla read the DATASET file in that directory

If you are using MOLA latitude/longitude coordinates to determine your search area, you'll need to adjust it. TES coordinates are off by .271 degrees longitude.

TES Longitude Coordinate for Vanilla = (360-(MOLA_Lon - .271))

NASAView

Add the lines below to your .cshrc and .alias file, respectively.

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $LD_LIBRARY_PATH/:/home/marsdata/comon/nasaview/NASAView/

alias nasaview '/home/marsdata/common/nasavie/NASAView/./nasaview &'

JMARS

JMARS should be aliased as done below:

alias jmars 'java -Xmx512M -jar /home/marsdata/jmars/jmars.jar'
